No bull, Nebraska has some real recruiting traction

Another Tuesday, another football recruiting update. I know I said we’d shift gears after last week’s update, but there are some loose ends we need to see through.

After all, it’s been a packed June with official visits, photoshoots—that included tractors and livestock—and a final push before a now 75-day dead period. The Huskers are walking away from all of that with three new commitments. So far.¹

On Monday alone, Nebraska landed two important pledges for its 2026 recruiting class. The first came from four-star cornerback Danny Odem of Orlando, Florida. Later in the day, three-star running back Jamal Rule out of Charlotte, North Carolina, joined him.

They followed Anaheim (Calif.) tight end Luke Sorensen,² who kicked off last weekend with his commitment on Friday.

Add it up and Nebraska’s 2026 class now includes eight members, four of whom committed in June. While it took a few weeks for the Huskers to find their rhythm in this cycle, coach Matt Rhule and staff appear to have real momentum heading into July.
