Nebraska football went out to visit class of 2027 linebacker target, Matthew Brady. Brady posted about the visit on social media earlier this week. The linebacker is the 44th overall player in the state of Illinois according to the Rivals Industry Rankings .

Brady is a three-star linebacker. The Huskers have been busy in this recruitment over the past couple of months. Brady has had three visits in total.

He was first visited by the program on April 28. Wednesday's visit was unofficial, the second of this cycle. He is also due to come to Lincoln on June 12 for an official visit.
