Nebraska to host class of 2026 offensive lineman

Deacon Schmitt will visit the Lincoln campus on July 27. 

The Nebraska Cornhuskers will host a class of 2026 offensive linemen this weekend. Deacon Schmitt will visit the Lincoln campus on July 27.

Schmitt is a 6-foot-5, 290 offensive tackle from Windsor High School in Windsor, CO. He will take a visit to Oklahoma two days prior to his visit with the Cornhuskers.

The prospect earned a scholarship offer from Nebraska after performing well in a Husker-run football camp in Lincoln last month. Offensive line coach Donovan Raiola extended the offer.

Nebraska currently does not hold any commitments to the class of 2026. However, a flurry of recent offers has taken place as the 2025 cycle winds down, heading into the 2024 college football season.

Sooners predicted to land 3-star offensive tackle out of Colorado

Oklahoma Sooners favored to land 2026 offensive tackle out of Colorado.

The Oklahoma Sooners have honed in on another offensive target for the [autotag]2026 recruiting class[/autotag]. After hosting several sessions of the Brent Venables Football Camp, the Sooners made a number of offers to prospects over the next several recruiting cycles.

One of the players to receive an offer was 2026 three-star offensive tackle Deacon Schmitt. Schmitt camped with the Sooners in June and received his offer later in the month. Now it looks like Oklahoma has the inside track to land the promising offensive tackle prospect.

Out of Severance, Colorado, Schmitt is an athletic prospect with great size. He’s 6-foot-4 and 280 pounds and looks to have good arm length. He moves well, showing an ability to pull across the formation and work in space. Schmitt’s a physical player, looking to overpower his assignment on every snap.

His offer sheet is largely a regional one. Colorado State, Nebraska, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Washington State and the Sooners in pursuit. Much like we saw with Ryan Fodje last summer, don’t be surprised if that offer sheet grows.

Though only rated by 247Sports, he’s considered the No. 7 player in the state of Colorado and the No. 55 interior offensive line prospect by the recruiting service.

Rankings aside, if the Oklahoma Sooners are pursuing Schmitt, he has something to offer.
