Nebraska offers 3 JUCO recruits

The Nebraska Cornhuskers offered 3 recruits from Hutchinson Community College.

On October 21, the Nebraska Cornhuskers offered three recruits from Hutchinson Community College: OL Dez’Mond Schuster, EDGE Nikko Taylor, and DL Jerrell Boykins Jr.

Schuster is actually committed to Illinois. Taylor has an offer from Oregon State, while Boykins has offers from Washington State and Western Kentucky. Boykins spent one season with Louisiana Tech before transferring to Hutchinson C.C.

Hutchinson has produced some notable NFL players, including Alvin Kamara, Cordarrelle Patterson, Gerald Everett, and De’Vondre Campbell.

This season, Hutchinson has a 6-0 record, and they are ranked No. 1 in the NJCAA Division I Football rankings.

Here is a quick look at three recruits.

Huskers offer 3-star RB from Illinois

The Nebraska Cornhuskers extended an offer to Andre Crews, a class of 2023 3-star running back/cornerback from Chicago Simeon High School in Illinois on Monday. 

The Nebraska Cornhuskers extended an offer to Andre Crews, a class of 2023 3-star running back/cornerback from Chicago Simeon High School in Illinois on Monday.

Crews is a 5-foot-9, 180-pound back that is the 123rd-ranked running back and 44th-ranked overall recruit in Illinois by 247 Sports. 

Nebraska is one of his more significant offers so far, but Crews has also received interest from Wisconsin, Kentucky, Air Force, Akron and a handful of FCS programs. The Huskers do not currently have a running back commit in their 2023 class.

So far this season, he has rushed 107 times for 1,408 yards and 24 touchdowns through eight games of the Illinois high school football season. Simeon, which is also the alma mater of current Husker wideout Alante Brown,  is 8-0 and looks to polish off an undefeated regular season with a Week 9 tilt against Lane Tech.

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:

Goldman has received offers from Arizona State, Eastern Illinois, Eastern Michigan, Idaho, Kansas, Kansas State, Memphis, Missouri, Northern Iowa, South Dakota, South Dakota State, and Wyoming.

The Cornhuskers have gained commitments from two offensive tackles in the 2023 class: Gunnar Gottula (No. 48 OT) and Brock Knutson (No. 67 OT).
