Nebraska Football landed a commitment from 2027 four-star quarterback Trae Taylor on Thursday afternoon. He made the announcement during a live stream on 247Sports’ YouTube channel.
Taylor is the third overall quarterback in the 2027 class and the second overall player in his class from the state of Illinois, according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
Several teams made a final push to recruit him on Wednesday, as Illinois and LSU both made visits. Nevertheless, he stayed with his choice of the Huskers. He was recruited to the program by quarterbacks coach Glenn Thomas.
This was a recruitment that the Huskers were in on early. His recruitment with Nebraska picked up over the fall, as he took on official visits on October 5 and November 23. He was most recently in town on April 26.
He threw for 3,061 yards, 20 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, per statistics from MaxPreps. He also carried the football 41 times for 342 yards and four touchdowns.
This is a major commitment for the Nebraska football team. For one, it gives them a cornerstone commitment for the 2027 class. This also gives them time to develop the class around Taylor. This is something that the program was unable to do with Dylan Raiola due to him switching his commitment in late summer, right before the early signing timeframe.
Nebraska football has done a good job of recruiting quarterbacks over the last couple of classes. Taylor’s commitment gives Nebraska another bona fide playmaker at the position. This sets them up nicely in the quarterback room for life after Dylan Raiola, with TJ Lateef and Marcos Davila currently in the room. Dayton Raiola is also waiting in the wings as a member of the 2026 class.
Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule has been known to pull off some big recruiting wins, and this certainly falls into that category here. Find social…
