Nebraska gaining steam with elite OL after Saturday night statement
Steven Branscombe/GettyImagesThe Nebraska football team is still celebrating its blowout win over the Akron Zips. Still, they might soon have something else to pop the Champagne about. One of the top players in the state, offensive lineman Matt Erickson, is now trending in a big way for the Huskers and could continue to add to a 2027 class that could be the best of the Matt Rhule era.
Erickson took in the show on Saturday night as the Cornhuskers absolutely throttled the Zips to the tune of 68-0. While Tory Pittman and Trae Taylor are currently the only 2027 commits, Erickson and several other prospects are loving what they're seeing from what the Huskers have to offer.
