Nebraska football head coach isn’t leaving any doubt that he wants to add one of the best athlete in the country to his 2026 recruiting class. The Husker head coach recently paid a visit to Brandon “Dash” Arrington this week and it’s clear the California player was more than happy to see the head man on the personal visit.
The visit is just the latest in a long line of steps the Huskers have taken to try and get the best players out there to consider the Cornhuskers. Arrington is a highly sought-after Class of 2026 athlete, primarily known for his exceptional speed and versatility. He is being recruited by numerous top programs nationwide.
Nebraska football seems to have zeroed in on the athlete, who has primarily played at wide receiver and defensive back, because of his background as a two-sport star in football and track. The Huskers have long gone after players that have speed to burn. He’s got it in spades.
Nebraska football makes personal pitch to top 2026 athlete
According to MaxPreps, Arrington had 31 catches for 527 yards and 5 touchdowns. He also had 26 tackles, an interception, and 3 passes defended.
He also showed himself to be a top notch special teams player, returning 8 kicks for 309 yards (38.6 average) for Mount Miguel in Spring Valley, California.
Arrington is considered the top athlete in the entire class according to On3. That site also considers him the No. 2 player in the state of California and the No. 8 player in the entire country.
Arrington is considered the No. 2 player in the state and at his position according to Rivals. Obviously, the Nebraska football team is going to have a massive fight on its hands if it wants to land Dash Arrington. He has offers from 39 schools including Texas A&M, Oregon and USC.
