Nebraska football is pairing quarterback Trae Taylor with top receivers, securing key commitments while navigating setbacks, and reshaping its tight end outlook.

Nebraska's 2027 offensive line recruiting class, bolstered by coach Geep Wade's relationships, features five highly rated prospects who chose the Huskers over Power Four programs.

Justyn Lindsay, a 2027 wide receiver from Missouri, announced his commitment to the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Tuesday, choosing the Big Ten program over Iowa, Missouri State and Toledo. His decision follows a standout season with 22 receptions for 352 yards and seven touchdowns, and it bolsters a class that already features quarterback Trae Taylor and Omaha’s Tay Ellis.

Justyn Lindsay, a 6‑foot‑3, 175‑pound wide receiver from Blue Springs, Missouri, has committed to Nebraska, bringing size and production to a receiving corps that is already bolstered by Tay Ellis and several other recruits.

Four‑star wide receiver Jabari Watkins has flipped his commitment from Nebraska to Arkansas, leaving the Huskers with just one receiver pledge for the 2027 class.

Kaden Howard's decommitment reshapes Nebraska's 2027 receiving corps while the staff eyes Matthew Gregory and several in‑state linemen for future impact.

Four‑star prospect Matthew Gregory, known for his elite speed and vertical skill set, will cap his recruitment with a final official visit to Nebraska on June 19. The visit comes as the Huskers hold the No. 15 spot in the 2027 cycle and look to add a marquee talent to a class already bolstered by blue‑chip commits.
