The Huskers continue to covet size at the wideout spots, and with the two committed for this class, it’s likely that they’re done at the position for 2022. Page’s body type aligns with Nebraska 2021 receiver signees Latrell Neville, Shawn Hardy and Kamonte Grimes. He visited Nebraska on the second recruiting weekend of June and committed a week later after whittling his choices to the Huskers and Kansas State. Nebraska tapped the alma mater of former standout receiver Kenny Bell to find Page, a 6-3 190-pound pass catcher who accumulated more than 2,000 receiving yards over the past two seasons. Appleget was recruited by Nebraska inside linebackers coach Barrett Ruud, a former Knight and ex-Nebraska All-America defender. Ultimately, the Nebraska connection was too strong the Nebraska roster includes five former Knights, and the Huskers have offered 2023 Southeast prospects Teitum Tuioti and Gunnar Gottula. Appleget earned an offer and got one a day later from Minnesota after a visit to Minneapolis. Nebraska brought him in for a workout on June 1, the first day recruits were allowed back on campus since March 2020. LB Jake ApplegetĪ relative unknown on the national landscape, Appleget, at 6-4 and 210 pounds, emerged as a junior last fall, starring at tight end and linebacker for the Knights. Schwartz’s father played five seasons as a linebacker for the Jacksonville Jaguars after a college career at D-II Augustana (S.D.), and Hayden’s mother was a multi-sport college athlete. He was coveted by Michigan and Missouri and used an official visit to Nebraska in early June. But Schwartz offers versatility that Nebraska has sought. In the Huskers’ 3-4 system, the pass rush often comes from a fourth down lineman, usually an outside linebacker. It may have found one in Schwartz, who looks best suited, at 6-foot-4 and 244 pounds, to play an edge defensive position. Nebraska has struggled under Frost to recruit pure pass rushers.

Let’s take stock of how the pieces are coming together with our 2022 Nebraska commitment tracker. The roster also includes 16 players on scholarship classified as juniors who could return in 2022.Īll of it will matter as Nebraska constructs its next class. This year, the Huskers’ roster includes just one senior who counts toward that 85, wide receiver Samori Toure. In the end, fewer spots will be available to players who’ve not already attended college.Īnd at Nebraska, scholarships available for 2022 may remain limited, with no ruling from the NCAA that would allow sixth-year seniors whose eligibility was extended by the pandemic year to remain exempt beyond 2021 from the 85-scholarship limit.
The 2022 group of newcomers out of high school are the first to grapple with changes to transfer rules that promise to alter recruiting methods. The next class of signees at Nebraska will be unique in many ways. It’s understandable, what with Nebraska’s diverse recruiting strategy and reliance on bringing prospects to Lincoln in order to sell a program that has enjoyed just one winning season in the past six years. Things were slow to take shape for the recruiting class of 2022. The Huskers emerged from the period of pandemic-related recruiting restrictions in something of a hole. For Nebraska and coach Scott Frost, the summer revival of campus visits and traveling coaches provided an opportunity to regroup and ultimately to reload. © 2021 THE TENNESSEE TITANS.LINCOLN, Neb.
