The early signing period has been a giant game-changer for the recruiting world. A high percentage of overall prospects will sign their National Letter of Intent on Wednesday, Dec. 18 and conclude their recruiting process. Since the inception of this new rule, schools are pushing hard for targets to sign in December and the Huskers are no exception.
It has become a key piece of the recruiting strategy to get as many of your commits signed in December so you know exactly who and what positions to target in the run to February. This run to the early signing period has been unpredictable for the Huskers, in large part because there were more open slots to fill once we got under a week until prospects could sign.
Here is the running list that will be updated of uncommitted targets for Nebraska who will be announcing on Wednesday. I also have a full predictions article that can be found here.

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.
