Looking at positional recruiting across the conference, I decided to measure offers as a percent of the school’s total offers. The Huskers, with great stability at QB with Adrian Martinez, Noah Vedral and Luke McCaffrey, have used less than 1.5% of its offers on QBs. Nebraska’s starting QB through 2022 is likely already on the roster. Iowa is the only other school with fewer than 2% of offers used on the QB position.
I was surprised to see the Huskers have offered a very low percentage of OL recruits as this has been a position of need for years. Only Rutgers has offered a smaller percent of OL so far. Nebraska has also made it a priority to recruit Athletes in this class with nearly 8% of its offers being used on these players. While some of these Athletes will likely find positions once on campus, I expect Frost wants more players like Wan’Dale Robinson that can be used in a wide variety of roles.
