He communicates as often as he can via text or Snapchat with running back Kendall Bussey, defensive backs Avery Anderson and Eric Lee, and twin defensive linemen Khalil and Carlos Davis.
“We’re a pretty close class,” Gaylord said. “It’s a great opportunity because they chose us out of everyone to be Huskers.”
Gaylord also wants to reach out to those who aren’t yet committed to Nebraska, even the members of the 2016 recruiting class, which most of the visitors this weekend will be.
Among the expected visitors from that 2016 class are offensive linemen John Raridon (West Des Moines, Iowa), Matt Farniok (Sioux Falls, S.D.) and Eli Johnson (Oxford, Miss.), who is committed to Ole Miss but is kicking the Big Red tires. Then there’s Lincoln Christian tight end Jared Bubak and, perhaps set to gain the most attention, dual-threat quarterback Tristen Wallace.
