Recruiting never stops and it's easy to miss the top stories day-to-day. Recruiting analyst Greg Smith recaps all things Nebraska recruiting news, analysis and more so you never miss a thing.
The page has been turned to October and as I’ve noted previously, this could be a big recruiting month for the Huskers.
A number of prospects that Nebraska has hosted for visits are slated to make decisions this month. That includes 3-start OL Dohnovan West, 3-star RB Wandale Robinson and 4-star WR Marcus Washington. Washington, the speedy pass-catcher from St. Louis, just announced that he has a date in mind for his announcement.

Washington took an official visit to Nebraska for the Colorado game back on Sept. 8. After that, he took a visit to Texas. That visit to Austin really seemed to move the needle for him. I wouldn’t count on Nebraska being the pick here when a decision is announced. The schools in consideration are Texas, Ohio State, Missouri and Nebraska.
Wide receiver is a bit of a need in this class, especially since the staff would like to take more than one in 2019. Nebraska will keep working down the board to pair a wide receiver with commit Jamie Nance out of Oklahoma.

>> Nebraska is continuing to try and do work in the state of Colorado. Last cycle they signed defensive end Tate Wildeman. Quarterback Luke McCaffrey and offensive lineman Michael Lynn are commits in the 2019 class. There are a number of 2020 targets in the state including a few that visited last weekend for the Purdue game.
One of those targets came out of the weekend with an offer. Roger Rosengarten, an unranked lineman from Valor Christian High School, picked up an offer from the Huskers.
After a great visit, I am blessed to say I have received my first Division 1 offer to play football at the University of Nebraska!!!Thank you to @BarrettRuud @SeanDillonNU @coach_frost and the rest of the staff for this opportunity #GBR 🔴⚪️🔴@SixZeroStrength @GoValorFootball pic.twitter.com/Axkz7XxjFD

Greg is the Recruiting Analyst for Hail Varsity and has covered Husker athletics since 2013. He has always had a passion for sports while growing up in the Chicago area. As he got older and had to hang up his cleats and sneakers, he realized his passion for sports went beyond just watching and attending games. He has covered many events from the Rose Bowl to championship boxing matches. If he’s not talking sports, he’s hovering over his grill. He is married to an amazing woman, Kim, and they have a dog that barks when Greg yells at the TV during games.
