Nebraska coach Matt Rhule represented on CBS Sports' list of top head football coaches
CBS Sports ranked the top 68 coaches in college football for the 2025 season. Matt Rhule and the Nebraska football program were represented on the list, with the coach coming in at 32nd overall. Rhule and the program are looking for a bigger 2025 campaign after finishing last season 7-6. They won the Pinstripe Bowl, which was an achievement for the program, as they had not won a bowl game since 2016. After finishing 5-7 in 2023 and 7-6 in 2024, the program looks to take a big leap, aided by freshmen and transfers on both sides of the football. Tom Fornelli broke down why he put Rhule in the 32nd spot. "Rhule's Nebraska was able to cross a bowl game off the to-do list last year, but he still fell three spots in our rankings. After all, there's a difference between 6-6 bowl eligibility and 8-4, so you'll have to forgive some of our voters if they weren't overly impressed with Rhule's sophomore season in Lincoln." Rhule is known for making third-year leaps in his previous stops at Temple and Baylor. Huskers could be poised to make the jump as well with a favorable schedule. Need a break?

The Ohio State football team continues to add to one of the best 2026 recruiting classes in the country. The latest verbal commitment comes from four-star defensive back Jordan Thomas, who announced his pledge to the Buckeyes on Monday afternoon. Out of Bergen Catholic High School in Oradell, New Jersey, Thomas is ranked as the No. 17 cornerback and 176th overall prospect in the 2026 recruiting cycle according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. He chose the Buckeyes over finalists Auburn, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Texas A&M. When reacting to the commitment on a live stream hosted by On3, he said that Ohio State "checked off all the boxes." 'When it comes to development in all aspects of life,' Thomas said, 'in the faith part, field part, academically, in my character, there's no place better than Ohio State.' The commitment now gives OSU a total of 13 pledges in the 2026 class, a crop that is currently ranked as No. 3 in the country according to the 247Sports Team Composite rankings. Thomas is the fourth defensive back committed to the class, joining safeties Blaine Bradford and Simeon Caldwell, and cornerback Jakob Weatherspoon.
