Steve Wiltfong: ‘I’m not sleeping on Nebraska for anybody’ including two 5-stars

Out of nowhere it seems, Nebraska football has some major momentum on the recruiting trail.

The recruiting dead period ends this weekend and allows recruits the chance to take more visits before the end of the summer.

In 2024, this weekend help Nebraska football shore up the commitment of Grant Brix. But in the 2025 class, this weekend, which was called “The Cookout” in 2024, is shaping up to be more star-studded.

On Friday, it was reported that Nebraska would host five-star athlete Michael Terry for a visit. It will be his second trip to Lincoln after an official visit in April.

The No. 26 overall prospect in the 2025 class according to the 247 Sports composite rankings, loved his first trip to Nebraska and if the Huskers could have another visit like that, they could surge past Oregon and Texas for the lead.

Another 5-star recruit is visiting Nebraska football

Not only is Terry visiting, but so is fellow five-star recruit David Sanders. The 6-foot-6, 290-pound offensive tackle out of Charlotte is ranked second overall in the 2025 class according to the 247 Sports composite rankings. He’s also the No. 1 offensive tackle.

Ever since Sanders included Nebraska in his top four, there was talk of a visit before his August 17 decision. Tennessee will get the final visit this weekend, but Sanders will make it to see Nebraska football once again.

It’s the second visit for Sanders and according to Steve Wiltfong, “I’m not sleeping on Nebraska for anybody right now. It seems like they are pedal to the medal right now and I think with the relationships with the staff and what they are able to present off the field with their infrastructure, they are an exciting place for their top targets”

Four-star wideout Isaiah Mozee, an Oregon commitment, is also visiting. His father, Jamar Mozee, was just hired as an off-field analyst. I feel most confident in the Huskers flipping Mozee, but Terry and Sanders wouldn’t visit if they weren’t serious and as Wiltfong said, don’t sleep on Nebraska, even for two five-star recruits.
