The Huskers have just 12 commits for 2026. Is Matt Rhule asleep at the wheel—or five steps ahead of the game?
In this episode of the Big Red Junkies, BJ, Jed, and Matt dive into what looks like a shockingly small recruiting class for Nebraska Football in 2026. But don’t panic. The crew breaks down why this shift might be more about strategy than desperation.
We hit on:
Why the class might stay under 16 total commits
Whether roster limits or a full cupboard of young talent is driving the small size
How Matt Rhule is killing it at retaining players (no mass exodus like other programs)
The new reality of recruiting through the transfer portal
Why events like Nebraska’s Adidas 7-on-7 tournament are low-key recruiting gold
How long-term relationship building (like with Williams Nwaneri) is reshaping Husker targets
What the staff gets right that past regimes never did—adaptation and branding
And we couldn’t help but rant about the flood of Ohio State, Oregon, and Texas gear in Omaha. Husker Nation’s youth movement needs a damn spark—and Rhule might be the one to reignite it.
👉 What do YOU think about the direction of this 2026 class? Is Rhule playing chess while everyone else plays checkers? Drop your take below.
