1. NEBRASKA
Not only do the Huskers have star power, asCarter Nelson
was heavily involved among the top tight end projections in the class, but they also have depth to the class being brought in by Matt Rhule. Nebraska has a pair of four-stars, with
Ian Flynt
flanking the headlining Nelson, as well as a three-star addition in
Keelan Smith
.
Individually, Nelson is of course among the most intriguing given he will be transitioning from eight-man football to the Big Ten. Dominant locally, he did it all at 6-foot-5 and held his own in the Polynesian Bowl in January.
Flynt is ranked as the No. 22 tight end and is built traditionally for the position at 250 pounds, though he can make plays down the field as well.
Smith has an H-back build at 6-foot-3, complementing the others with true production as a jumbo wide receiver who can make plays at the catch point.
