In our latest Nebraska Cornhuskers news roundup, we have another crystal ball for Nebraska football, an elite RB set to visit, and more. Matt Rhule and the Nebraska football staff never seem to sleep. There always seems to be some sort of recruiting buzz surrounding the Huskers, which was true...

Four-star offensive lineman
Preston Taumua has the
Nebraska Cornhuskers among his top two teams with Oregon. He’s ranked 219th overall and is 6-foot-4, 315 pounds out of Hawaii. He’s listed as an interior offensive lineman, but his scouting report sounds like he could play tackle too.
Either way, you can never have enough quality offensive linemen. Oregon and Nebraska football each hosted Taumua for official visits in June. But the Huskers are right in the mix and here’s what
Taumua told 247 Sports about the Nebraska Cornhuskers:
“Some people were kind of surprised that I put Nebraska up there. I don’t know why. They always love to bring up Nebraska’s old record but the relationship that I’ve built with coach Donovan Raiola is something special. They can make you laugh, smile and even make you feel motivated before games. I can tell that they will be better than they were last year, especially with coach Matt Rhule there.”
Elite running back to visit Nebraska Cornhuskers
The Nebraska Cornhuskers probably aren’t desperate to take another running back in the 2024 class after landing dynamic three-star running back Kewan Lacy.
However, if Nebraska football is able to land a top-100 talent, it will certainly take the chance.
Caden Durham could be that guy. He’s a running back out of Duncanville, Texas, and ranked 97th overall according to the 247 Sports composite rankings.
Durham rushed for nearly 2,000 yards as a junior and he’s ranked 10th at the position. Oklahoma is the crystal ball leader but if the Sooners take Taylor Tatum, Durham might want to go somewhere else.
Nebraska football will host him for an official visit in September. Alabama will do the same so the competition will be stiff even if OU isn’t involved. LSU has also received a crystal ball but that was back in March.
