Nebraska football continues to remain active in both the transfer portal and the junior college market with their latest scholarship offer to one of the top JUCO players remaining. Defensive lineman Taylor Lewis has announced that he received an offer from Nebraska Defensive Coordinator Eric Chinander to play for the Cornhuskers this upcoming season.
The 6’3″ 295-pound Kenwood, Illinois native had 19 tackles, three tackles for loss, and two sacks. For the last two seasons, the defensive tackle had been playing for College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, California. Lewis currently has offers from 17 Division I football programs, including Power 5 schools like Orgon State and Missouri. The Tigers offered Lewis less than 24 hours before Nebraska.
The Huskers continue to look for depth on the interior of the defensive line after the departures of Casey Rogers and Jordon Riley to the University of Oregon. Both will now play under former Husker and current Duck’s defensive line coach Tony Tuioti.
Taylor Lewis is expected to make an official announcement by the end of May.
