Oregon commit to visit Nebraska this weekend
A University of Oregon recruit has scheduled a visit to Nebraska’s campus this weekend. Isaiah Mozee is a four-star wide receiver for Lee Summit North High School in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Last season, he appeared in 11 games, making 74 receptions for 1,033 yards and 12 touchdowns. Mozee committed to the Oregon Ducks back in April. While the receiver is committed, his visit should come as no surprise. Isaiah’s father, Jamar Mozee, was recently hired as a Senior Football Assistant at Nebraska. The elder Mozee comes to Nebraska after being the head coach of Lee’s Summit North High School in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, for the last nine seasons. During that time, he would compile a record of 64-35 but recorded an impressive 33-5 record for the last three seasons. Nebraska’s class of 2025 holds 17 commitments and is currently ranked outside the top 25.
