Nebraska football has made the cut for a playmaking tight end.

Nebraska football is still in search for an impact tight end. If Nebraska were to miss out on Thomas Fidone, they certainly have a decent backup plan. Erik Olsen, who hails from Littleton, Colorado released his top six teams on Monday. Nebraska was on that list.

Olsen is the 19th overall tight end in his class, and the fifth overall player in the class from the state of Colorado per the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
