Nebraska's football recruiting pipeline took a hit this week when three-star wide receiver Kaden Howard announced his decommitment, opting to join Georgia Tech.
Howard, ranked 147th at the wide receiver position nationally and 134th among Florida prospects, logged 25 receptions for 510 yards and seven touchdowns last season, numbers that had made him a coveted prospect.
The setback comes as the Huskers' 2027 recruiting class continues to impress, currently positioned 19th overall in the country and built around 15 commitments, seven of which are labeled blue-chip prospects.
Looking Ahead
Coaches have not slowed their pursuit of elite talent, setting their sights on four-star wide receiver Matthew Gregory, who remains high on the Huskers' wish list as the early signing period approaches.
With late visits and personal outreach, the staff hopes to convert interest into letters of intent, keeping the class’s momentum alive despite the early loss.
