June is set to be a busy month for the Nebraska football program. The Huskers will host over two dozen recruits across multiple classes on campus for the next several weekends. Nebraska is actively looking to add to its 2026 recruiting class, which currently has four commits and sits at the bottom of the Big Ten Conference. The headliner of the class is four-star corner CJ Bronaugh.
The versatile cornerback has been heavily pursued by multiple programs and took a visit to the Florida Gators this past weekend. Local product Jase Reynolds also figures to be a key piece at the linebacker position, as he looks to make his home state proud. Wide receiver Dveyoun Bonwell-Witte and quarterback Dayton Raiola round out the 2026 class.
