Nebraska has firmly planted itself in the middle of a heavyweight recruiting battle for 2027 four-star offensive lineman Jordan Agbanoma, joining a top group that includes Georgia, Texas A&M, Miami, and Florida. The Huskers continue to show staying power against some of the nation's most aggressive talent‑collecting programs, positioning themselves as a legitimate contender as Agbanoma's recruitment gains momentum.

Why it matters

Landing top offensive line talent is a priority for Nebraska coach Matt Rhule as he looks to rebuild the Huskers' roster with physically dominant players up front. Agbanoma's combination of size, power, and technique make him an ideal fit for Nebraska's system, and securing his commitment would be a major recruiting victory for the program.

The details

Agbanoma, a 6‑foot‑3, 295‑pound prospect from Loganville, Georgia, is rated the No. 5 interior offensive lineman and No. 77 overall player in the 2027 class by 247Sports. He has already earned an Under Armour All-American selection and a spot in the ESPN 300, underscoring his status as one of the top young trench talents in the Southeast. Nebraska offensive line coach Geep Wade's system emphasizes physicality, vertical displacement, and consistency, traits that align perfectly with Agbanoma's skill set.

  • Agbanoma is a 2027 recruit, meaning he will be a high school senior in the 2026-27 academic year.
  • Nebraska has firmly planted itself in Agbanoma's top 5 recruiting group as of February 2026.
