Nebraska football may be worried about Texas ‘upset’ on top QB prospect
With the addition of Dylan Raiola and Daniel Kaelin to Nebraska football, the Huskers are searching for a player who might play a key role in the team’s future. Matt Rhule and team seem to be focusing on their next assignment at the job.
The Nebraska football team has been in a good position with TJ Lateef, one quarterback prospect, for a long now. They remain the front-runner, according to recruiting expert Tom Loy of 247Sports. That’s encouraging and might result in a commit at any moment.
During his appearance on the official 247Sports podcast, Loy talked on the likelihood of the Nebraska football team becoming a top recruiting target. With the 4-star 2025 potential, they are getting and keeping hot with one of the boys.
For a while now, Loy claimed he was extremely close to releasing a formal forecast—a so-called Crystal Ball—that TJ Lateef would sign with the Huskers. Although he hasn’t felt quite ready, he acknowledged that he probably ought to.
“I think they are far and away the leader right now,” Loy added. “They are recruiting him harder than ever. He’s going to be there for an official visit in April.”
However, it looks like the Nebraska football team could be facing a bit of a wrinkle in the form of the Texas Longhorns.
There’s still a weird storyline when it comes to Texas that I’m watching,” Loy continued. “We’ve talked about this before. There’s just something uncertain when it comes to Texas and their quarterback commit, KJ Lacey, and maybe Alabama eventually gets involved there. But I’m hearing that they’ve reached out and had some communication with TJ Lateef.”
“I think Texas has, especially with the relationship between Steve Sarkisian and TJ Lateef and the respect that he has for the Longhorns head coach, they could dip in and pull off the upset as it is now and beat Nebraska for Lateef.”
The Huskers have already lost out on one target to an old Big 12 rival. It would certainly be frustrating to lose to Texas on TJ Lateef, especially as strong as they’ve been so far.
