Where does Nebraska’s roster rank in the Big Ten?

The Big Ten Conference’s spring season is right around the corner.

The Big Ten Conference’s spring season is right around the corner. The league will look quite different in 2024, with the addition of four new schools and divisions being scrapped.

The upcoming season will have four Pac-12 making the jump to the Big Ten, the first time they’ve expanded in a decade. The conference will be adding Oregon, Washington, UCLA, and USC.

Athlon Sports recently ranked the Big Ten’s college football rosters heading into the 2024 season. They did this by taking the national recruiting ranking averages for the last five classes, according to 247Sports.

Where does Nebraska rank among their Big Ten colleagues? With the exception of the 2022 recruiting class, which finished 41st overall, every class since 2020 has finished in the top 25.

Scroll below and see where Nebraska ranks in the conference, as well as their five-year average recruiting class rankings.

Where Ducks’ 2024 class ranks in first expanded Big Ten recruiting rankings

A look at where the Oregon Ducks rank in the first expanded Big Ten recruiting rankings after the early signing period.

For the past several years, we always focused on two rankings when came to recruiting: national and conference.

While it’s interesting to see where your team stacks up against the best recruiting teams in the nation, what really matters is how they stack up against the teams in their conference, since those are the schools that they will end up playing the most.

Up until this year, it was the Pac-12 recruiting rankings that we looked at. Well…

Now it’s time to look at the Big Ten rankings. How does Oregon’s highly-rated class stack up when compared to the teams in their new league? Is it the best? Who is better? Who is worse? How did USC and UCLA and Washington do in the new league? Who are the new teams that we should expect to see at the bottom of the recruiting rankings each year?

There are a lot of questions to answer. Let’s see the updated Big Ten recruiting rankings after the early signing period:

2021 Big Ten Recruiting Rankings, Breakdown

No, really. How good were the Big Ten classes this 2021 recruiting season?

Big Ten East

1. Ohio State Buckeyes

It might not be the nation’s best recruiting class, but in a horseshoes-and-hand-grenades sort of way, it’s in the discussion with the Alabamas, Georgias and Oregons of the world – that’s all that matters. As always, the Buckeyes are getting a slew of guys making a stop-over in Columbus on their way to the NFL.

If Emeka Egbuka isn’t the nation’s best receiver prospect, he’s close. If Jack Sawyer isn’t the best defensive end, if Donovan Jackson isn’t the best offensive guard, and if Kyle McCord isn’t the best quarterback – and on and on – they’re all close.

2. Michigan Wolverines

Dog Jim Harbaugh and his era all you want, but recruiting hasn’t been an issue. Yeah, on the field and in the recruiting game, Michigan isn’t Ohio State, but that’s not quite a fair comparison even though beating that program is what matters. The Wolverines got their stars for the backfield in QB JJ McCarthy and RB Donovan Edwards, the O line gets were excellent, and it’s a strong overall class full of depth, versatility and talent.

3. Penn State Nittany Lions

Flip a coin or the third spot between Penn State and Maryland. The Terps got more quantity to go along with a few top-shelf parts, but Penn State got a few more big-time prospects. There isn’t a Micah Parsons or Devyn Ford type of elite guys, but there are a few who are close enough to be All-Big Ten difference-makers.

4. Maryland Terrapins

There were a few pickups for the offensive side, but this class is about defense, defense and defense. Head coach Mike Locksley was known for being a top-shelf recruiter when Maryland hired him, and he’s starting to change the talent level with a strong class last year and a fantastic one this season. He and his staff went hard after the star linebackers – getting Terrence Lewis and Branden Jennings out of Florida was massive.

5. Michigan State Spartans

Ehhhh, okay. It’s a recruiting class – no more, no less. Michigan State always went with a recruit-to-a-type thing under Mark Dantonio, and it all worked out just fine. Can Mel Tucker start to get the bigger prospects as he goes forward? The problem isn’t getting the guys to compete with Ohio State and Michigan – it’s getting the guys to compete with what Maryland is bringing in.

6. Rutgers Scarlet Knights

It’s not a stretch to call this the program’s best recruiting class in at least ten years, maybe more. It helps that it’s a big class full of commitments, but Greg Schiano is getting some real, live talents, too. He didn’t exactly put a fence around New Jersey, but he landed nine in-state players – getting LB Khayri Banton was big – but it’s not about getting a lot of local guys, it’s about getting the right ones.

7. Indiana Hoosiers

Even with the recent success, Indiana is never going to battle with Ohio State  and Michigan for the star recruits. However, there isn’t any one area that’s all that special – except for, potentially, receiver – and there aren’t a whole lot of stars. If Donaven McCulley really is the next great quarterback, then the class works, but there’s not a lot for the lines to build around.

Michigan State football updated 247Sports 2021 recruiting rankings

Michigan State football has updated recruiting rankings for the 2021 football recruiting class according to 247Sports rankings.

[jwplayer 7HOYimhW]

Mel Tucker and the Michigan State football staff are dealing with some inclement conditions when it comes to recruiting the 2021 class. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic has really hurt the ability to recruit in person. Nonetheless, the Spartans have pulled in two impressive recruits this past weekend: three-star safety Jah’Von Grigsby and four-star running back Audric Estime.

The Spartans 2021 football class now ranks No. 54 in the nation according to 247Sports updated recruiting rankings. Also, MSU’s 2021 football recruiting class is the 12th-ranked class in the Big Ten.

Again, Tucker has brought in some solid 2021 recruits despite being hired late while facing a pandemic. I can’t wait to see what he does with even more time at his disposal.
