As high schools kick off, Ruud says Huskers will 'keep evaluating' talented in-state senior class

In recent months, one of the curiosities surrounding Nebraska football recruiting is whether any further in-state class of 2020 players will earn a scholarship offer from the Huskers.

It’s a class that’s deep in talent overall, but has not seen a surefire Power Five player emerge beyond Bellevue West wide receiver Zavier Betts, who committed to the Huskers this spring, and Omaha Burke wide receiver Xavier Watts, who picked Notre Dame over Nebraska and many others in July.

There are several candidates, including many that hold Division I offers. That list is led by Lincoln Southeast athlete Isaac Gifford (Oregon State, Wyoming and others) and Johnson-Brock wide receiver Ty Hahn (Wyoming, several FCS schools) and could also include players such as Millard South’s Kohl Herbolsheimer (Wyoming, FCS schools) and Lincoln Southeast’s Teivis Tuioti (Nevada, Army, FCS schools).
