The start of the season is upon us and each week HuskerOnline is going to bring you a look on a side of the football with their latest Big Board.
This week we bring you the offensive board as the Huskers work their way through official visitors, summer campers, unofficial visitors and recruits coming in for private, individual workouts heading into fall camp and the start of the season.
Quarterback (1):
Richard Torres – San Antonio, TX (Nebraska commit) (Official visit to Nebraska – June 4)
* Next Opponent: (Neutral Game) Brownsville Lopez HS (non-district) - August 26th, 7:00 PM
==================================================================
QB thoughts – No changes here. Torres is QB1 for the 2022 class.
==================================================================
Early Look Future QB Big Board:
2023 Recruit: Reese Mooney - Denham Springs, LA (Spring Game visitor)
2024 Recruit: Dylan Raiola - Burleson, TX (Friday Night Lights camp) and Daniel Kaelin - Bellevue, NE

WR thoughts – In a scrimmage last weekend Jones hauled in two touchdown receptions. Jones and Page gobbled up the two spots in the class. Jones is talking about taking his official visit to Nebraska in September.

2023 Recruit: Shelton Sampson - Baton Rouge, LA (Spring Game visitor)

* Next Opponent: (Away) Cottage Grove Park HS (non-conference) - September 2, 7:00 PM
==================================================================
TE thoughts – Huskers were in on a number of TEs and ended up canceling official visits with multiple TE recruits once Androff committed.
==================================================================

2023 Recruit: Ben Brahmer - Pierce, NE (Nebraska commit) (Spring Game visitor) (Friday Night Lights camp)

==================================================================
OL thoughts – Feeling a little more confident here that Nebraska will only take up to two offensive linemen in the 2022 class. There has been a change of 2-3 to 1-2 here. If Nebraska determines that there won't be another offensive lineman in the class it could make sense for Nebraska to take four defensive backs potentially.
Early Look OL Future Big Board:
2023 Recruit: Gunnar Gottula - Lincoln, NE (Nebraska commit) (Spring Game visitor) (Friday Night Lights camp), Cayden Green - Lee's Summit, MO (Spring practice visitor) and Kadyn Proctor - Pleasant Hill, IA
2024 Recruit: No known offers at this time
Summary - As if things could slow down any more for this class it's now at a crawl. There may not be another player on the offensive side of the football added to the 2022 class potentially as it sits right now. At the moment I would only expect one more offensive lineman to be taken and that's if Nebraska can really find the right guy to take.
With so little to track I thought that it would be a nice feature to have the next game on the schedule for the recruits (2022 guys). It's been a little surprising hearing the comments from both Teitum Tuioti and Gottula the past week or so about how important it was to them to play in front of fans.
As stated at least on the HuskerOnline podcast there will be some game coverage for a pair of commits for Nebraska in the coming weeks. We will be attending games for both Torres and Hayes soon as well.
