Nebraska Football Countdown to Kickoff: No. 37 DB Evan Taylor
As Big Ten Media Days wrap up in Indianapolis, the countdown to kickoff for Nebraska is down to just 37 days. In the player spotlight with those 37 days remaining until August 31 is freshman cornerback Evan Taylor. The 6-foot-3, 175-pound defensive back is originally out of Cuthbertso High School in Waxhaw, North Carolina. He was a consensus three-star prospect across the recruiting industry and chose the Huskers over notable FBS offers from Charlotte, East Carolina, and Rutgers. He took only two official visits in his recruitment, one to Lincoln, and one to Piscattaway. Taylor missed his entire senior season of high school football due to a knee injury but did have a solid junior campaign in 2022 playing both cornerback and wide receiver for Cuthbertson. This season will be a redshirt year for Taylor as he continues to recover from his knee injury as he’ll look to develop into a rotational player in the secondary for the program long term.

Top 2024 signee Carter Nelson to start career at wide receiver
In Nebraska’s 2024 recruiting class, outside quarterback commitment Dylan Raiola, no prospect received as much hype as four-star prospect Carter Nelson. The Ainsworth, Nebraska native was a consensus four-star prospect and ranked as a top-100 prospect by On3, 247Sports, and Rivals. That being said, while recruited as a tight end, the Huskers will be starting the 2024 signee at a different position: wide receiver. Nelson will be playing in the slot. Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule told the media on Wednesday during the Big Ten Media Days of the development. The Huskers’ move of Nelson to the slot will allow the talented freshman...
