Nebraska Football Recruiting: June 11 official visitor preview
Nebraska is hosting six official visitors on June 11 after eight visitors the previous week. The Huskers nabbed a commitment from Lakeview, Minn. tight end Chase Androff on Monday after his official visit on June 4. With three commitments in the class of 2022, NU hopes to keep the commits rolling in.
This weekend's group of players is heavier on defensive positions compared to last week's group. Four defensive recruits and two recruits on offense will visit Nebraska during its second week of official visits.
These official visits include perhaps NU's top inside linebacker target and several other interesting targets.
HuskerOnline.com breaks it all down for you in this visitor preview.
Offense
Ashton Hayes is taking his official visit one week after four-star running back Justin Williams was in Lincoln for his official. The duo is the only two running backs on Nebraska's list of official visitors.
Hayes visited the University of California on June 4 and, after Nebraska, doesn't have any more officials lined up. He has offers from Wisconsin, Utah, Oregon State, Nevada and more.
As a junior at McQueen High School, Hayes racked up 607 yards on 114 carries during a shortened five-game season. During a full 13-game schedule his sophomore year, Hayes rushed for 2,429 yards with 272 carries and averaged nine yards per carry.
