Huskers offer highly-touted Texas quarterback recruit

The Huskers continue to recruit in the state of Texas.

Nebraska football offered 2027 four-star quarterback Jerry Meyer III on Thursday. Meyer made the announcement on social media earlier this week.

He is not ranked in the 247Sports rankings. However, he does have an offer sheet that is continuing to grow. In addition to the Huskers, Baylor, Ole Miss, Purdue, and SMU are among the ten offers he has.

Meyer enters the collegiate ranks with a bit of pedigree. As a freshman, he threw 58 touchdowns at Lake Mead Academy in Las Vegas. He won the program’s first state championship as well.

Currently, he has 1,798 yards and 13 touchdowns for Waxahachie in Texas. According to statistics from Maxpreps.com, he has also been able to perform consistently, averaging 299 passing yards per game.

Nebraska football has done well in quarterback recruiting over the last couple of classes. Adding Meyer would continue to add solid talent to the room. In addition, the coaching staff can recruit at a high level in Texas.

Nebraska to host four-star defensive tackle

Nebraska football is hosting a talented defensive tackle on campus this weekend.

Nebraska football has a big visit weekend on Saturday as they take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Another big name was added to the list on Wednesday, as 2027 four-star defensive tackle Bryce Perry-Wright will visit Lincoln this weekend.

Perry-Wright is the third-ranked defensive tackle in the Rivals 250 rankings. He has visited Auburn frequently over the past year, visiting the campus three times in March, July, and September. He has 37 offers in total.

He is off to a strong start for Buford High School. He has 20 tackles and two sacks in four games. Buford has been fruitful for the Huskers in recent memory. 2026 quarterback Dayton Raiola committed to Nebraska last month and is the Buford starting quarterback.

This is shaping up to be a busy week of offers for Nebraska football as they look to get the class moving. Perry-Wright is undoubtedly a solid target, as his athleticism and ability to fill holes quickly are two of his big strengths. Nebraska has had strong defensive line play recently, and he would continue the tradition if he were to commit.

Four-star class of 2027 quarterback visiting Nebraska this weekend

The Huskers will have a talented signal-caller on campus for a visit this weekend.

Class of 2027 four-star quarterback Trae Taylor is going to visit Nebraska this weekend. Rivals.com’s Tim Verghese reported this. According to Rivals rankings, Taylor is rated the 33rd overall prospect in the 2027 class and the sixth overall quarterback in the cycle. The quarterback hails from Carmel Catholic High School out of Mundelein, IL.

Taylor has offers from Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Kentucky for a total of 25 offers. He is scheduled to visit Illinois on October 19. He has visited Illinois quite frequently over the last year and a half, visiting the campus on April 20, March 26, and September 23 of last year.

Currently, Nebraska football has zero commitments in the 2027 recruiting class. That being said, it’s clear that they want to add additional talent at the quarterback position for the future. The Huskers already have TJ Lateef in the fold for the 2025 class, and Dayton Raiola in the 2026 class.

It will certainly be interesting to follow Taylor’s recruitment, given Nebraska’s talent at the position for the future. It’s certainly a positive that they’re getting him on campus.

Notre Dame reportedly offers 2027 Delaware guard Jezelle “GG” Banks

This would be a nice get even if we’d have to wait a while.

[autotag]Hannah Hidalgo[/autotag] is coming off the best season any Notre Dame freshman has had. Given the Irish’s ability to successfully recruit top talent, it wouldn’t be shocking if someone tried to top being named a First Team All-American among other things. It could happen if the Irish get their way.

The Irish reportedly are among three schools who are the latest to extend on offer to Jezelle “GG” Banks, a 2027 guard from Ursuline Academy in Wilmington, Delaware:

Banks already has received offers from multiple prominent programs. That tends to happen when you’re named the Gatorade Delaware Girls Basketball Player of the Year. That also tends to happen when you average 22.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.4 steals a game as a freshman.

Hidalgo would be gone from the Irish by the time Banks arrived, so they wouldn’t get the opportunity to play each other. Still, it would be nice if Hidalgo knew she was leaving the program in good hands with Banks.
