Nebraska football has a new crystal ball projection in the 2025 recruiting class, plus more Nebraska Cornhuskers news.
It was an active weekend for Nebraska football on the recruiting trail as the Cornhuskers had more than 30 recruits on campus from the 2025 and 2026 classes.
There was even a three-star defensive end visiting in the 2024 class. We talked about that on Friday and Keona Wilhite is a name to watch as a late addition for the Huskers in the 2024 cycle.
However, the focus was more on future classes. Things are getting serious in 2025 and it was a good weekend for Nebraska football with top in-state recruit Christian Jones, who called the visit, “The best one yet.” Five-star offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell said that he will make a return trip after taking his third visit to Nebraska.
Chase Loftin, another top target from the state of Nebraska also enjoyed his visit. He also told Husker Online that he’ll be visiting Alabama and USC this next weekend.
There weren’t any commitments expected this weekend, but Nebraska football has picked up a new crystal ball projection for 2025 wideout Bryson Hayes. The 5-foot-11, 180-pounder is from Kansas and is ranked 713th overall in the 2025 class according to the 247 Sports composite rankings. He runs the 40-yard dash in sub 4.4 and got a projection from Steve Wiltfong to land with the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
All in all, it seems like Nebraska built some positive momentum this weekend. On that same note, Dylan Raiola was named Co-MVP of the Polynesian Bowl, capping an incredible weekend for the future starting quarterback. Carter Nelson also shined in the All-Star game.
