Nebraska recruiting: Huskers offer top Indiana defensive tackle Cole Brevard
Nebraska recruiting efforts have landed them a JUCO defensive tackle this week. Now the staff has turned its attention to Indiana’s best player.
Nebraska recruiting has been on a real roll the last few days. The Huskers got the commitment of two defensive linemen, and an inside linebacker since Friday.
it appears the recent success has Scott Frost and the rest of the coaching staff aiming high for 2020. The Nebraska football team offered Cole Brevard on Monday, who is going to be one of the most sought-after targets in the entire class.
Brevard is ranked as the best player in Indiana, and the seventh best defensive tackle in the 2020 class. He’s also the 102nd ranked player in the entire class, according to 247Sports.

Despite it being a while before Brevard can sign on the dotted line, he’s already boasting 13 offers. Since he hails from Indiana, it should surprise no one that the Big Ten has been quite active in pursuing the player.

Nebraska recruiting gurus are certainly aware of the need for the Cornhuskers to get stronger up front. The Nebraska football team certainly has some time, but they need to at least get him on campus in the very near future if they want to continue to have any real shot with the highly-touted prospect.
