Nebraska Football Recruiting: Grading The 2017 Class

Before we dive head-first into the 2018 Nebraska football recruiting class (and we will), let’s first review the 2017 bunch and grade it out properly.

First, let’s have a look at where the recruiting services felt the Big Red finished nationally.

Rivals: 19th overall (No. 5 Big Ten; 1st in the West division)
Scout: 18th overall (No. 6 Big Ten; 2nd in the West division)
247Sports: 23rd overall (No. 5 Big Ten; 1st in the West division)

Average: 20th overall (No. 5 Big Ten; 1st in the West division)

A good place to start. Now let’s break things down and talk about the positions themselves.
