Nebraska football signed a 10-player class of high schoolers Wednesday on the early National Signing Day. The class is headlined by five-star cornerback Danny Odem III and four-star offensive lineman Claude Mpouma. Of the 10 players, seven are on the offensive side of the ball. As many as seven of them could be in for spring ball, and could even participate in bowl practices. The Cornhuskers’ high school recruiting class is one of the smallest in recent memory, and is ranked in the bottom quarter of teams in the nation as a result. Nebraska is expected to be active in the transfer portal as well.
