The Nebraska Cornhuskers are pulling out all the stops in their recruitment of a top offensive lineman.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are pulling out all the stops in their recruitment of a top offensive lineman. Grant Brix is a four-star lineman out of Logan, Iowa.

The prospect is ranked as the state of Iowa’s top recruit for the class of 2024. The Huskers are currently in competition with Oklahoma and Kansas State for Brix’s commitment.

Nebraska made the bold move of advertising right outside the recruit’s high school. The Cornhuskers parked a Nebraska Football semi-truck outside the football field at Logan-Magnolia High School on Wednesday.

Recruiting service On3 says that Brix has all the talent to be successful at the next level.

One of the better movers among top 2024 offensive linemen. Light-footed and moves like a smaller player. Looks like a tight end at times. Fires off the ball with vigor. Works to finish blocks with authority once engaged.

Brix has not placed a timetable on making his commitment.

When he making his original announcement to Nebraska, he talked about the program’s culture as the main reason for his commitment.

But what I was really looking for on this visit — they preach culture and brotherhood and family and relationships — and when I went down there, I wanted to see how it was. Let me tell you, it’s full of that. They weren’t lying. I was hanging out with guys and they treat each other like more than football teammates. They treat each other like family and I like that.

Barta’s flip was a quick one as he had only received an offer from Kansas State as late as Oct. 16. His announcement now leaves Nebraska’s 2024 recruiting class with 26 recruits.
