The Nebraska Cornhuskers are now running the race better than they were for this top wide receiver in the 2027 class following the commitment of Trae Taylor

Nebraska fooball commit Trae Taylor issued an apology to Illinois fans following his announcement on Thursday.

Regardless of how it went down, Taylor's commitment is another significant recruiting win for Nebraska coach Matt Rhule and his staff. The Huskers signed five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola in 2024, TJ Lateef -- the No. 27 quarterback in his class -- in 2025 and currently hold a commitment from Dayton Raiola, Dylan's younger brother, for 2026.
