Nebraska offers class of 2027 Missouri wide receiver
Nebraska football offered class of 2027 wide receiver Justyn Lindsay on Saturday. Lindsay made the announcement on social media. The wide receiver was a part of Nebraska's Friday camp, where quarterback Trae Taylor was also in attendance. Advertisement Lindsay measures in at six-foot-one, 150 pounds. He currently plays at Blue Springs South High School in Missouri. Currently, the 2027 Nebraska football recruiting class has one commitment in Trae Taylor. The latter has been very active with the program over the past couple of months, having attended several camps in June. The Huskers have attempted to open the Missouri pipeline over the past couple of recruiting classes. Wide receiver Isaiah Mozee is one example in the 2025 class, and Jamar Mozee is a senior football assistant for the program. He has heavily recruited the Missouri area. Nebraska's camps have yielded several offers over the past couple of weeks, and that is certainly a positive sign.

Taylor holds the distinction of being the only football player in Nebraska history to earn All-America honors at two positions (left guard, center). He was a two-time first-team All-American and a three-time national champion. Taylor's No. 67 jersey was retired in 1998, and he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2018. Joining Taylor in the 2025 class are Kevin Davis (men's gymnastics, 1985-88); Diandra Hyman (bowling, 1999-2002); Lisa Reitsma (volleyball, 1994-97); and Stephanie Thater (volleyball, 1989-92). Nebraska athletic director Troy Dannen had high praise for the five new Hall of Famers. 'We talk regularly in Husker Athletics about setting a standard by which everyone else will aspire to achieve. These Hall of Famers did that and more, and now inspire our current student-athletes to achieve greatness. We look forward to welcoming our 2025 Hall of Fame Class back to campus for our induction ceremony this fall, where we will celebrate their accomplishments and recognize their impact on the University of Nebraska.' The 2025 Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame class will be inducted on Friday, Oct. 31, before being recognized during the Nebraska-USC football game on Saturday, Nov. 1.
