Nebraska Football Team’s Recruitment Efforts in Pennsylvania
The Nebraska football team is continuously striving to broaden its nation-wide recruitment efforts. Pennsylvania is one state where head coach Matt Rhule has persistently worked to establish a presence. Rhule’s understanding of the area, combined with his drive to bring its top players to the Nebraska Huskers’ program, is a reflection of his dedicated pursuit to enhance the team.
The Pursuit of Linebacker Colsen Gatten
Earlier this week, the Nebraska football team made strides in recruitment by setting their sights on Pennsylvania’s talented linebacker, Colsen Gatten. Gatten’s recruitment could be a game-changer for the team.
Competition for Colsen Gatten
Gatten has already earned a reputation as one of the top linebacker targets for the Nebraska football program. But, he is also receiving attention from multiple power programs. He has had offers from several prestigious football programs including Pitt, Penn State, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Syracuse, West Virginia, and Duke. Thus, the Cornhuskers face fierce competition in their bid to recruit Gatten.
The Huskers’ Strategy
Over the recent weekend, the Huskers made it clear to Gatten that he is one of their top targets. They reiterated their interest and made sure he knew he was a priority for the team. Such gestures may seem small but can make a significant difference in getting a team’s program prominently recognized.
The Current Scenario
According to On3, Nebraska has at least managed to make an initial impression, despite having some ground to cover. The site ranks Penn State and Notre Dame as front runners in the race for Gatten, with Pittsburgh following in third place. Currently, the Nebraska football team is in fourth place. But they are definitely making progress in this highly competitive recruiting landscape.
