Nebraska Looks to Have a Top-100 Silent Commit

Gregory is currently ranked as the No. 97 player in the nation, the No.
17 wide receiver in the 2027 class, and the No. 7 player in the state of Pennsylvania. That makes him one of the biggest recruiting targets Nebraska has been in position to land in recent cycles.
Gregory is a big-time recruit in the 2027 class, with blue bloods like Notre Dame Fighting Irish football and Auburn Tigers football, as well as red-hot UCLA Bruins football, all hunting his commitment. He is also expected to be in Lincoln from June 12th through the 14th, and there is growing buzz that he could very well pull the trigger on a commitment to Nebraska during that visit. If the Huskers can seal the deal, it would be another major addition to an already talented class headlined by quarterback Trae Taylor.
More Ammo for Taylor Taylor is without a doubt the gem of this recruiting class, and his name continues to attract talent to Lincoln. Gregory, if he commits to the Huskers, would join Tay Ellis and Kaden Howard in the class, giving Nebraska a potentially formidable trio of weapons for Taylor to unleash down the line for Matt Rhule’s squad. Wide receiver has been a position Nebraska has struggled to consistently develop for the better part of a decade, but stockpiling elite talent is the first step toward changing that narrative.
