Nebraska Football RB target will visit for Colorado game

2026 running back Kayden Jones is one of the top players in the Midwest.

2026 four-star running back Kayden Jones has scheduled a visit with Nebraska football on September 7. This was reported by his On3 profile.

He is the 14th overall running back in the 2026 class and the top overall player in his class from the state of Oklahoma per the On3 Recruiting rankings. He has several offers, including from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Oregon, and Miami.

Jones measures in at 6 feet, 170 pounds. He will be part of a visit list that includes the likes of 2026 quarterback Michael Clayton as the Huskers prepare to face Colorado.

In recent months, Nebraska football has made it a point to add depth to the running back room. They have one commitment for the 2025 class at the running back position in Conor Booth. They currently have no commitments in the 2026 class, although that could be the main focus in the fall.

Jones would be a solid addition as Nebraska stacks talent at the running back position.
