Nebraska Countdown to Kickoff: No. 52 LB Dylan Rogers

Only 52 days remain until Nebraska’s 2024 season begins.

The countdown to kickoff to Nebraska’s 2024 season continues to near the 50 day mark with just 52 days remaining till August 31.

Today’s player profile features Huskers linebacker Dylan Rogers. A 6-foot-3, 235-pound redshirt freshman out of Cypress, Texas.

Rogers was a consensus three-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting cycle for the Huskers, committing to the program over offers from Colorado, Houston, Kansas, Kansas State, Louisville, Memphis, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Missouri, Texas, and Texas Tech among others.

In his first season in Lincoln, Rogers did not see the field. In 2024, he’ll compete to be a part of the program’s rotation at linebacker. It is possible that the Texas native makes his collegiate debut at some point this upcoming fall.

How 2023 Husker football commits are faring so far

If the Huskers can hang onto this group of commits, the future looks bright.

Despite the loss of former head coach Scott Frost, the Nebraska Cornhuskers have 13 commits in their upcoming recruiting class. That bunch have been putting up strong numbers so far with most states’ high school football seasons just past the midway point.

Leading the way in Nebraska’s class of 2023 are 4-star recruits Omarion Miller, a 6-foot-2 wide receiver out of North Caddo (Vivian, LA) High School and Riley van Poppel, a 6-foot-4, 270-pound interior offensive lineman from Argyle (Argyle, TX) High School.

Both are ranked in the top 30 nationally at their position, according to 247 Sports, but they are far from the only future Huskers making an impact. Obviously, the world of recruiting is never 100% stable, especially after the firing of a head coach, so Mickey Joseph and the rest of the Huskers coaching staff will need to have good conversations with their commits to ensure they plan to stay.

Each recruit’s highlights and stats (if applicable and available), are listed below:

Texas linebacker becomes 13th commitment to the class of 2023

Nebraska continues to remain active on the recruiting trail

Nebraska received their second commitment on Tuesday after landing Texas linebacker Dylan Rogers. Rogers, who currently plays for Cy Woods High School, is the 13th commitment to the Cornhusker’s class of 2023. Just two weeks ago, the 3-star prospect announced his final six teams, which included Kansas State, Colorado, Houston, Missouri, and Texas.

The class of 2023 continues to take shape. All three primary recruiting services have the upcoming class in the Top 30. 247Sports and Rivals both have Nebraska’s recruiting rank as 27th overall and On3.com has the class ranked 28th overall.

Rogers is the second commitment Nebraska has received this week after having previously received the commitment of 4-star wide receiver Omarion Miller from Louisiana.
