Nebraska could be in store to get some good news shortly after the start of the new year in 2026. Head coach Mat Rhule has been on a bit of a hot streak when it comes to recruiting for the Class of 2026. Other than one de-commitment, the Cornhuskers have been able to score some big commitments, giving them the No. 5 class for 2027.
That ranking could get even better if the Cornhuskers are able to get a commitment from four-star running back Xavier Bala. According to Rivals, Bala is supposed to announce his commitment on January 10.
