Nebraska currently sits at 15 commits for the 2020 cycle and with 15 days until signing day they are looking to add as many as possible before then. Looks like Nebraska is taking about 10 more prospects in this class, so there's definitely room for the class to grow. I've ranked the following in order of perceived desire by Nebraska's staff, not by rating...
So who do we want? Take a gander...
1. Kaden Johnson (4-Star, OLB) [Minneapolis, MN] - Johnson has long been a Nebraska target and it seems the long game paid off. It looked early on as if Wisconsin and Minnesota had the inside track, but, despite both having stellar seasons it seems that Nebraska is leading for the elite OLB prospect out of MN.
2. Omar Manning (4-Star, WR) JUCO [Lanaster, TX] - If Johnson is the #1 defensive player on the board, Manning is the #1 offensive player on the board. Nebraska has seemingly led for this one for a long time. Oregon is the other want to watch out for. At 6'4" 225 lbs Nebraska doesn't have another WR with his size, speed and athleticism on the roster.
3. Julius Coates (3-Star, DE) JUCO [Rockford, IL] - The JUCO product out of Illinois is a current Colorado commit but has had a wandering eye for the past few months. Nebraska and Oregon swooped in and seem to be battling for the commit. He's 6'6" (maybe 6'7") and 270 lbs and would provide immediate depth on the edge.
4. Darion Green-Warren (4-Star, DB) [Harbor City, CA] - Green-Warren has been at the top of Nebraska's DB board for some time. He wanted to visit for the OSU game and his flight got cancelled so he ended up visiting for the Wisconsin game. USC is probably the team to beat but the uncertainty surrounding Clay Helton has left the door open for others and playing in the B1G is intriguing to Warren. Penn State and Michigan are involved as well.
5. Marcus Fleming (4-Star, WR) [Miami, FL] - Fleming is one of the fastest players in Florida so don't let his diminutive frame dissuade you. Though he stands only at 5'9" and 160 lbs he makes up for it with his speed. Nebraska, Georgia and Maryland are the top three for him with FSU and Florida on outside looking in. Georgia is a big threat but their offensive style doesn't fit his skill set as well as Maryland and Nebraska. Fleming plans to sign in December but announce in January.
6. Jaden Francois (4-Star, DB) [Homestead, FL] - Another one time Miami commit, Francois is narrowing down his list to two schools... one being Miamik and the other being either Nerbaska or Indiana. This one is hard to read but Nebraska felt good enough to send coaches down early on for the young man.
7. Alante Brown (4-Star, WR) [Chicago, IL] - Brown is an interesting story. He was a 4-star committed to Texas Tech according to 247Sports in the 2019 class but he didn't make grades and went the prep route for the 2020 class. Which basically reclassifies him as a 2020 HS recruit. His production stayed the same and now he's a 4-Star at the Prep school. He's used 4 of his 5 OVs already (Indiana, Va Tech, MSU and Maryland) but it looks like Nebraska will get the final look next week.
8. Justin Robinson (4-Star, WR) [Mcdonough, GA] - Robinson has been a intriguing watch. He's only visited Nebraska and Georgia and for a while Nebraska has felt good about the possibility of flipping the WR prospect. Georgia has winning but Nebraska has more opportunity. There's not another body in the class at WR for Nebraska like the 6'4" 200 lb WR out of Georgia. If Nebraska can steal this one it won't be because Georgia let him go.
9. Jamari Butler (3-Star, OLB) [Mobile, AL] - Current Tennessee commit is slated to visit Nebraska this weekend. Nebraska would like two more OLBs in this class with Kadon Johnson being one of them. Butler could make the most sense to be the other if his visit goes well and Nebraska can flip him from Tennessee.
10. Keyshawn Greene (4-Star, OLB) [Crawfordville, FL] - A current FSU commit Green has been hearing plenty from Nebraska following the FSU firing of Willie Taggert. A lot could land on who the Seminoles bring in as their new HC but in the mean time Miami and Nebraska have swooped in. IF Nebraska gets a visit it's going to have to be a midweek visit though.
Other Names to know: Eteva Mauga (NYR, JUCO LB), Kendall Dennis (4-Star, DB), Bryan Robinson (4-Star, WR), Tuli Tuipulotu (3-Star, DE), Nusi Malani (3-Star, DE), DeShawn Lynch (3-Star, DE), Devyn Curtis (3-Star, LB), Brian George (4-Star, JUCO DB)
