The Huskers focused on the class of 2025, at least in part, after their 2024 class came to an end with quarterback Dylan Raiola’s big-fish pledge. In an effort to maintain positive relationships with their future top targets, they are also actively recruiting members of the classes of 2026 and 2027.
