The Nebraska Cornhuskers became the second program to offer 2026 defensive end Landon Bland last week. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound edge rusher from Carthage, Missouri, reported an offer from the Huskers last Thursday.
According to Bland’s tweet on X, he received the offer after a conversation with Nebraska’s Director of Player Personnel, Keith Williams.
In addition to his offer from the Cornhuskers, Bland also holds an offer from Wisconsin, a Big Ten rival. Kansas State and Missouri have also shown interest in Bland but have yet to offer the rising 2026 athlete.
The Cornhuskers currently have no commitments in the 2026 recruiting cycle but do hold a trio of commitments in the 2025 recruiting cycle, all from Nebraska natives. The Huskers have signed prospects from Missouri in each of their last two recruiting classes and in three of five since 2020.
After a great talk with @s_kwilli32 I am blessed to receive an offer from @HuskerFootball #GBR @HuskerCoachTW @CoachMattRhule @Coach_Knighton @Rob_Dvoracek pic.twitter.com/6s8KgnNkAH
