I was checking in today with some of the defensive tackle recruits who Nebraska has offered and I finally got a response from Rivals250 prospect Garrett Rand out of Chandler (Ariz.) Hamilton.
I sent him a text asking him where things currently stood with him and Nebraska and he responded:
"I hopefully will take a trip up there and see how it goes."
I replied back asking what his level of interest in NU was and he texted back:
"I couldn't tell you right now because I haven't met the new staff."
I asked him a couple more questions via text but received no further response.

Also, Ellenwood (Ga.) Cedar Grove defensive tackle Antwuan Jackson responded to the same two text questions I posed to Rand.
I asked him where things currently stood with Nebraska and the Rivals100 recruit responded:
"We talk from time to time."
What is your level of interest in NU?
"Medium. I still have interest in all the schools that have offered me."

I will also have a full update on New Orleans (La.) McDonogh 35 three-star defensive tackle Mastephon Taylor coming first thing Monday morning.
