Nebraska makes strong impression on class of 2026 running back
Nebraska makes strong impression on class of 2026 running back
Nebraska football has built a strong relationship with 2026 four-star running back DeZephen Walker. On Friday, he spoke about the coaching staff in a piece by Tim Verghese.
Walker is the fifth overall player in the state of Missouri and the 16th overall player at his position per Rivals ratings.
He is set to take an official visit to Lincoln on June 20, which is a busy summer for him. He will also take an unofficial visit to Kansas on May 30, an official visit to Kansas State on June 6, and an official visit to Notre Dame on June 13.
Walker is far from a sure thing for the Huskers. However, as he told Verghese, he likes the approach they have taken in his recruitment.
'They love my family, they've been around us a lot... they've built that relationship and that relationship is tight.'
Walker would be a solid get for a 2026 class with four total commitments. The class itself ranks 55th overall nationally per Rivals Team Rankings. The program could use additional depth at running back, and Walker could be a good fit.
