Tajh Overton put the Huskers in his Top 11.

Four-star defensive tackle Tajh Overton narrowed his list to 11 schools on Friday. Nebraska football made the cut for the class of 2026 prospect.

The Oklahoma Sooners, Texas A&M Aggies, Auburn Tigers, Missouri Tigers, Arkansas Razorbacks, Miami Hurricanes, Ole Miss Rebels, Tennessee Volunteers, UCF Black Knights, and Texas Longhorns also made the cut.

According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Overton is the 24th overall defensive lineman in the 2026 class and the top player in his class from the state of Oklahoma.

According to statistics from Maxpreps.com, he has played in one game this year for Owasso High School. During the contest, he recorded six tackles and two sacks.

The 2026 Nebraska football recruiting class is still being developed. According to the 247Sports Team Rankings, the class ranks 34th nationally.

Nebraska football has emphasized recruiting the defensive line position in the 2025 class, and it appears they are looking to continue building that position. Overton’s recruitment is far from decided. However, the Huskers being in his top 11 is certainly a positive sign.
