The Nebraska Cornhuskers football team is having one heck of a summer on the recruiting front. On Monday, a heater that saw the Huskers secure 11 of their 21 commitments coming into July has now added another one this month. 4-star wide receiver Khalil Taylor announced on Monday evening that he was officially committing to Matt Rhule and Co.Â
As the 22nd addition to NU's 2027 class, he's also their third receiver, and as a bonus, the Cornhuskers can say they stole one away from Matt Campbell and Penn State. Taylor committed to the Nittany Lions last year, when James Franklin was their head coach. There was talk that Campbell had managed to bring him back into the fold earlier this spring. However, Monday showed that wasn't the case.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers aren't done working on the 2027 class just yet, but assuming they can keep everyone that they now have, it will be one of the best classes the program has seen in quite some time. It's also a massive improvement over the shockingly small and very low-ranked 2026 class, which had some fans deeply worried about the direction of the program under Rhule.
