Nebraska and Trae Taylor making push for highly-touted 2027 offensive tackle
Nebraska and Trae Taylor making push for highly-touted 2027 offensive tackle Class of 2027 Nebraska football quarterback commit Trae Taylor was busy over the weekend, as he was on campus actively recruiting as well as participating in the Battle of the Boneyard tournament. Taylor was active on social media and encouraged Nebraska fans to show love to Mark Matthews. Matthews is the seventh overall player nationally in the 2027 class, the second overall offensive tackle, and the top player in his class, per the On3 recruiting rankings. This was his first time in Lincoln, and he has taken three other unofficial visits. He has taken two visits to Miami on February 1 and March 18, and he also visited the Florida Gators on March 14. It will be tough to pull Matthews out of the state of Florida. Nevertheless, Nebraska has been making Florida a priority recruiting area, and they have been able to land several players out of the state. They are beginning to recruit heavily for the 2027 class, and Matthews would be viewed as a cornerstone commitment.
