Nebraska football is set to host an offensive lineman this week. New Mexico State left tackle Shiyazh Pete is expected to visit the Huskers.
Pete spent four seasons with the Aggies after walking on his freshman year. Following no appearance in 2021, the Missoula, Montana, played in 12 games in 2022. New Mexico State finished three consecutive 200-plus yard rushing games to close the season and a program-record 25 rushing touchdowns.
He started in all 15 games at left tackle in the 2023 season, helping the Aggies to a 10-5 record. Pete earned First Team All-Conference USA and landed on the 2024 Lombardi Award Watch List.
Pete played in the final six games for New Mexico State in 2024 following an injury but allowed only five pressures and committed zero penalties.
The Huskers currently have no offensive linemen from the transfer portal this offseason. The Nebraska pipeline currently holds redshirt freshmen Gunnar Gottula and Grant Seagren at left tackle. Both Gottula and Seagren stand at 6-feet-6, and 305 pounds. Pete is 6-feet-8 and 320 pounds.
