Huskers make Top 12 for elite 2026 OL target

Nebraska made the cut for an offensive lineman earlier in the week.

According to multiple media reports, Nebraska made the top 12 for class of 2026 four-star offensive lineman Breck Kolojay last week.

 Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma,  Tennessee, Florida, Michigan, Texas, LSU, and Miami were the other schools that made his top 12 list.

According to the Rivals.com rankings, Kolojay is the 13th overall player at the position and the 53rd overall player in the state of Florida. The Huskers officially offered him on November 1, 2023.

Nebraska only has two commitments in the 2026 class: quarterback Dayton Raiola and wide receiver Dveyoun Bonwell-Witte. However, the Huskers have done a solid job of stacking their depth on the offensive line and have been busy extending offers to recruits in the 2026 class.

At the very least, they are getting a jump on the future. The opportunity to play in a bowl game would also undoubtedly help recruiting efforts.

Want this kid in the class! #GoBlue

In 2025 Michigan football has two commits (thus far) from the elite Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy in three-star center Kaden Strayhorn and four-star running back Donovan Johnson. As it continues to work on elite linebacker Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng in the 2025 class, it’s also working the 2026 class.

In Week 4 against USC, the Wolverines hosted IMG Academy four-star interior offensive lineman Breck Kolojay, hoping to get him to eventually follow suit with some of his high school teammates and join the maize and blue. And now that Kolojay is whittling down his list, Michigan football did, in fact, make the cut to eventually land him.

 

Michigan is battling against Alabama, Georgia, Colorado, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Florida, Texas, LSU, Nebraska, and Miami (Fla.).

Here is how Kolojay ranks according to the recruiting services:

* Ovr Pos St
247Sports Composite 4 257 19 43
On3 Industry Ranking 4 233 18 39
247Sports 3 27 49
On3 4 248 20 38
ESPN 4 170 5 32
Rivals 4 13 55

As of current, Michigan has three commits in the 2026 class, headlined by Cocoa (Fla.) four-star quarterback Brady Hart, along with three-star wide receiver Jaylen Pile and three-star cornerback Brody Jennings.

Interesting prospect from a powerhouse school. #GoBlue

Michigan football is looking to make big moves with several top prospects who play at high school powerhouse Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy. Center Kaden Strayhorn and linebacker Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng will be visiting Ann Arbor in the forthcoming weeks, but as 2025 prospects, they’re on the clock and taking official visits.

Such can’t be said for IMG Academy four-star interior offensive lineman Breck Kolojay, who is a 2026 recruiting class prospect. Rated the No. 239 player in the country according to the 247Sports Composite, Kolojay is already 6-foot-5.5 and 300 pounds as an incoming high school junior and has a reported 28 offers.

But he’ll get an early look at Michigan football on Wednesday as he shared on X (formerly Twitter) that he’ll be visiting unofficially.

Kolojay has reported offers from the likes of Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Miami, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, and Wisconsin.

Hailing originally from Littleton, Colorado, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Michigan paired him up with current offensive lineman Andrew Gentry, who is from the same hometown.

2026 IMG Academy offensive tackle Breck Kolojay discusses Tennessee offer and upcoming visit.

Tennessee was the first Southeastern Conference school to offer 2026 offensive tackle Breck Kolojay on May 25.

The 6-foot-6, 288-pound offensive tackle is from Littleton, Colorado. He transferred to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida during the offseason after playing one season at Valor Christian Academy.

Kolojay discussed his recruitment with Vols Wire.

“It truly is an honor,” Kolojay said regarding his Tennessee offer. “Tennessee is a top program and it’s a blessing to be recruited by them.”

Tennessee’s success of developing offensive linemen stands out to Kolojay.

“It’s awesome seeing Darnell Wright drafted as one of the top offensive linemen in the draft,” Kolojay said. “It’s cool to see his highlights throughout the years and how he developed as a player.”

Kolojay further detailed how Tennessee stands out for him on the recruiting trail.

“Tennessee stands really high in my recruitment knowing they were the first SEC school to offer me,” he said. “I think the thing that stands out the most is their fight and how every quarter is played in a dominant fashion until the game is finished.”

Kolojay will visit Tennessee for the first time with Vols’ commit Gage Ginther.

“I’m planning to visit Tennessee with Gage Ginter as a guest on his official visit,” Kolojay explained. “I’m mostly looking forward to learning about the culture, coaching style and maybe meeting some of the players.”

Kolojay holds offers from multiple Power Five programs, including Arkansas, Nebraska, West Virginia, Penn State and Miami.

“Having so much interest is a blessing and a truly humbling experience,” Kolojay said. “I worked really hard for these opportunities and look forward to working harder to earn more opportunities and becoming one of the best offensive linemen in the nation.”
