The Nebraska Cornhuskers extended an offer to Andre Crews, a class of 2023 3-star running back/cornerback from Chicago Simeon High School in Illinois on Monday.
Crews is a 5-foot-9, 180-pound back that is the 123rd-ranked running back and 44th-ranked overall recruit in Illinois by 247 Sports.
Nebraska is one of his more significant offers so far, but Crews has also received interest from Wisconsin, Kentucky, Air Force, Akron and a handful of FCS programs. The Huskers do not currently have a running back commit in their 2023 class.
So far this season, he has rushed 107 times for 1,408 yards and 24 touchdowns through eight games of the Illinois high school football season. Simeon, which is also the alma mater of current Husker wideout Alante Brown, is 8-0 and looks to polish off an undefeated regular season with a Week 9 tilt against Lane Tech.
After a great conversation with my Head Coach Dante Culbreath @Coach_Dante and Coach Travis Fisher @CoachTFisher I am truly blessed to receive a offer from the University of Nebraska @SeanDillonNU @alantebrown3 #GBR @Rivals_Clint @AllenTrieu @EDGYTIM @michaelsobrien @SimeonNation pic.twitter.com/cgQ1RNnfhw

Nebraska offered Chicago Simeon senior Andre Crews today. He has had a standout season which led to this offer. He talks Huskers and their Chicago connections, which include Simeon grad Alante Brown. (VIP) https://t.co/6iM3p3lxbB @mikejschaefer
