Huskers make top 12 for class of 2027 quarterback

Nebraska looks to be in good shape with 2027 quarterback Trae Taylor.

Nebraska football made the top 12 for 2027 four-star quarterback Trey Taylor. He made the announcement on X. The quarterback is a high-priority target for Nebraska.

According to the Rivals.com rankings, Taylor ranks 33rd nationally. Several big-name schools also want the quarterback. Michigan, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Tennessee, Ole Miss, and LSU are some of the more prominent programs that have extended an offer to him.

He had a stellar season for Carmel High School in Illinois. According to MaxPreps statistics, he has thrown for 3,061 yards, 20 touchdowns, and seven interceptions and is averaging 278.3 yards per game.

Taylor has also been able to get it done on the ground. He has 41 carries for 342 yards and four touchdowns. He is efficient in his carries, averaging 8.3 yards per tote.

The quarterback is scheduled to visit Lincoln this weekend as the Huskers take on the Wisconsin Badgers. A win on Saturday would certainly help in recruiting and Taylor could have a role in the program’s future.
