2018 Recruiting

In case you’re just joining us, Nebraska already has three commitments for the class of 2018 and more offers are going out every day. Four-star prospects Cameron Jurgens and Eric Fuller join three-star Masry Mapieu as Husker commits.

The 2018 class looks to be a bit smaller due to scholarship numbers, but that means you can expect pickiness considering the demand for quality over quantity.

Will Farniok, the younger brother of current Husker offensive lineman Matt Farniok, appears a lock to be a member of next year’s Nebraska football class due to his brother being a member of the roster. He currently holds offers from Iowa and Iowa State, but it’ll be interesting to see if any other programs offer or see his commitment to Nebraska as an potential inevitability.

Two names that have popped up as big targets for Langsdorf as next cycle’s quarterbacks are Corona, Calif.’s Tanner McKee and Coeur D Alene, ID.’s Colson Yankoff.

Next cycle offers some of the best talent in Missouri in recent history including defensive tackle Trevor Trout. It wouldn’t shock if Nebraska sees him as a must-get. Another prime example is Lee’s Summit athlete Mario Goodrich.

The St. Louis area is in excellent shape for the Huskers to raid. Missouri isn’t in the best shape and Illinois isn’t much better. Iowa has a presence but doesn’t have the cache of Nebraska. This will be a cycle the Huskers should mine the 500-mile radius hard.

Naturally, we’d be remiss without mentioning Brendan “Bookie” Radley-Hiles, another member of what looks to be a developing pipeline to Calabasas High School.
