Class of 2026 three-star running back Jamal Rule was on campus Saturday as Nebraska football held practice. He was impressed with the practice and compared himself to a current Husker back in the process.
Rule is rated the 44th overall running back in the 2026 class and the 33rd overall player in his class from the state of North Carolina per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Right now, it appears as though Boston College, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and North Carolina State are some of the top schools in the running for him.
On the Nebraska front, he is being recruited by running backs coach EJ Barthel. He is set to visit the program again on June 13th. He recorded 1,236 rushing yards, and 15 touchdowns on 134 carries in 2024, per statistics from Maxpreps.com.
Now, he can see a fit in the Huskers offense and was impressed with current Husker Emmett Johnson, as he told Rivals.com Tim Verghese on Saturday.
“The last couple games he was eating. As he was playing, I just saw myself.”
Getting another Emmett Johnson-type running back would do wonders for the Huskers’ offense. Rule possesses that unique skill set, and it will be interesting to see how involved the program will be in his recruitment.
