Nebraska continues its run of highly touted quarterbacks with the commitment of Trae Taylor (6-3, 186 lbs) from Carmel Catholic in Mundelein, Illinois.
Taylor is a 4-star recruit and ranked 35th nationally and the third quarterback according to the 247 composite rankings. Matt Rhule is stockpiling real talent in the quarterback room with the addition of Taylor. LSU recruited Taylor, as did Texas A&M, and Big Ten rival Illinois. He is the first commitment for the 2027 class, but quarterbacks commit early to secure the all-important roster spots.
Quarterback opportunity
Nebraska is a smart landing spot for a quarterback in the 2027 class, with Dylan Raiola finishing his third year and unproven quarterbacks in the room like TJ Lateef and Dayton Raiola to duke it out for the starting role.
