While the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team is having an excellent run when it comes to the 2027 recruiting class, Matt Rhule and Co. are having some issues with the 2026 cycle.
The trouble, at the moment, includes trying to hold onto one of the best commits for the 2026 class in defensive back Danny Odem. Odem is still committed to the Huskers, but the Michigan Wolverines are coming on strong.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are still holding onto Odem, and he's expected to take an official visit to Lincoln soon. He was actually supposed to be in town for their game against Michigan, but couldn't make it. This is a situation to keep a close eye on.
Matt Rhule delivers blunt message
Speaking of the Michigan game, Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule talked about expectations and how the team is dealing with losing another close game, this time to the Wolverines.
"No one cares about your feelings. I was frustrated. They're frustrated. Play better. That's the message...No one's coming to rescue you...There's no time to wallow in self-pity," was just part of what the Huskers' head man said.
