Nebraska makes bold move as top RB reopens recruitment

James Franklin getting fired from Penn State fallout doesn't need to be all bad for the Nebraska football program. Imagine instead of losing head coach Matt Rhule, the Huskers could reel in Kemon Spell, one of the best players in the 2027 recruiting class?

NU landing Spell is still a massive longshot, especially with teams like Notre Dame, Georgia, and Michigan State jumping into the mix with both feet. However, the 5-star running back out of McKeesport (PA) has taken notice of the Huskers at the very least. It appears they're in the running, even if they have some serious ground to make up.
