Nebraska's 2027 wide receiver class is a hot topic, with potential additions and subtractions on the horizon. The Huskers are trending toward landing four-star wide receiver Matthew Gregory, who is set to announce his college decision on June 8. Gregory's official visit to Lincoln over the weekend of June 5 and his previous visits to UCLA and LSU have positioned Nebraska as a strong contender. If Gregory commits, he will become NU's highest-ranked wide receiver pledge in the 2027 class and the program's seventh four-star commitment overall.
However, the article also highlights a potential shakeup in NU's 2027 wide receiver class. Kaden Howard, a 5-foot-10, 155-pound athlete from Miami Palmetto High School, committed to Nebraska on March 20 but has kept his recruitment open. Howard is trending toward Georgia Tech, according to national recruiting analysts, which could create a ripple effect elsewhere in the Huskers' recruiting class.
The article also discusses the relationship between Antayvious Ellis, Nebraska's longtime wide receiver commit in the 2027 class, and his future QB. The two are highly active together on social media and will team up at Millard South this fall. Additionally, NU has continued to stockpile talent at the wide receiver position in previous classes, signing Nalin Scott, Larry Miles, Maurice Purify II, and Jamari Brown, as well as adding transfer wide receiver Kwazi Gilmer.
The article concludes by noting that competition for playing time at wide receiver is expected to increase in the years ahead, regardless of the outcome of the next few days. Gregory's decision to move his official visit to Nebraska up by two weeks is significant, and the Huskers appear to be in a strong position entering Gregory's expected announcement on June 8.
