Nebraska Football Secures Key Recruits for 2026 Class
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — The Nebraska football team, under the leadership of head coach Matt Rhule, has made a significant leap in its recruiting efforts, securing commitments from two standout prospects for the 2026 class. Four-star defensive back Danny Odem and three-star running back Jamal Rule announced their decisions to join the Cornhuskers on Monday.
Odem, hailing from Orlando, Florida, opted for Nebraska over several powerhouse programs including Clemson, Penn State, Ohio State, and Oklahoma. Recognized as the No. 22 cornerback nationally and the No. 40 overall prospect in Florida by 247 Sports, Odem’s commitment marks a notable achievement for the Huskers as they bolster their defensive lineup.
Similarly, Rule, who ranks as the No. 779 overall prospect and the No. 44 running back in the 2026 class, turned down offers from Virginia Tech and Michigan State to pledge to Nebraska. His addition highlights the team’s ongoing efforts to enhance its offensive depth.
With these latest commitments, Odem and Rule become the seventh and eighth recruits to join Rhule’s developing 2026 class. As the recruitment process continues, Nebraska is gaining momentum, showcasing its ability to attract talent from across the country.
For fans and followers of Nebraska football, the excitement surrounding these recruits hints at a promising future under Rhule’s direction. The team’s aggressive recruitment strategy aims to elevate its competitive edge within the Big Ten and beyond.
Stay tuned as Nebraska continues to build its roster in anticipation of the upcoming season.
