INITIAL RATING: BRAYLEN PRUDE, 2024 LB - NEBRASKA COMMIT
Pearland (Texas) Shadow Creek's Braylen Prude committed to Nebraska over the weekend and represents a trademark Matt Rhule pledge. To say Prude is just scratching the surface of what he could become is an understatement. The son of former LSU and NFL defensive back Ronnie Prude, Braylen combines a long, lean frame with great height, impressive functional athleticism, and encouraging fluidity. He also boasts a 49.47-second 400-meter time to give him coveted multi-sport participation and verified speed that supports his flashes on tape.
Prude, a new high three-star 88 on 247Sports, earned a Nebraska offer June 6 and officially visited this past weekend. Prior to the Huskers targeting him, Prude had shockingly gotten only one Division I offer from Eastern Illinois. Chalk one up for Rhule and the Huskers. Prude possesses immense potential.
INITIAL RATING: LANDEN DAVIDSON, 2024 IOL - NEBRASKA COMMIT

"A tough and physical offensive tackle with positional versatility, Broomfield (Colo.) High's Landen Davidson (new three-star 85 rating) shows a knack for playing through the whistle and making sure he generates immediate push off the snap. He's got a tenacity to him that pops on film, whether it's knocking defenders back with impressive arm extension, driving his legs forward, or fighting to maintain leverage, he plays not to lose ground and obviously that's a great trait to have as an offensive lineman. With a multi-sport background and some impressive weight-room numbers, we feel that Davidson has plenty of growth potential and should factor into the offensive line rotation at Nebraska by Year 2." -- Blair Angulo, 247Sports national recruiting analyst
Gebbia, Johnson, Lindsay?Anyone care to guess when NU last signed 3 players from the same high school in the same year?
(Let's hope the BW 3 are better than those players)
And, the sooner they lock up this class, the sooner they can put more effort into next year's class.But the recruiting isn't good enough
