Nebraska has hired Tyler Yelk as its new safeties coach, bringing an experienced defensive mind with both college and NFL backgrounds to the Cornhuskers’ staff under head coach Matt Rhule and defensive coordinator Rob Aurich. The move comes quickly after the program lost its previous safeties coach, Miles Taylor, who departed for a position with the Baltimore Ravens shortly after joining Nebraska. Reports first emerged around February 6, 2026, indicating Nebraska was trending toward Yelk, and multiple sources confirmed the hire as he transitions from the professional level to the Big Ten. Yelk spent the previous three seasons (2023–2025) with…

National Signing Day for the 2026 recruiting class delivered a tale of two very different headlines for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. In one of the biggest recruiting victories of the cycle, Matt Rhule and his staff secured the signature of four-star defensive tackle Dylan Berymon, widely regarded as the top uncommitted prospect remaining in the country. Just hours later, however, the program absorbed a notable loss when three-star quarterback Tanner Vibabul flipped his commitment and did not sign with the Huskers. The day ultimately showcased both the highs and the unpredictability that define modern college football recruiting. A Defensive Anchor…

In football, Nebraska is hosting a talented junior day event, drawing a strong group of prospects primarily…

After the final three games of the season, I think everyone knew that major changes were going to happen to Nebraska’s defense. With the firing of John Butler and the hiring of Rob Aurich, Nebraska is set to switch from a 3-3-5 to a 4-2-5 defense. With the change not only in coaching but in scheme, Nebraska knew it would have to retool the defense. The Cornhuskers were able to keep a lot of the roster together, really only losing Keona Davis to the portal, which is something not easy to do in today’s college football. Ultimately, Nebraska went and…

In a shocking offseason move within the Big Ten Conference, veteran coach Mike Ekeler has departed Nebraska to join the USC Trojans coaching staff. Ekeler, who spent just one season in Lincoln revitalizing the Cornhuskers’ special teams unit, has been hired by USC as Special Teams Coordinator, Assistant Head Coach, and Linebackers Coach. The announcement marks another homecoming for Ekeler, who previously coached linebackers for the Trojans in 2013 under head coach Lane Kiffin. Ekeler’s coaching journey has been extensive and varied. A native of David City, Nebraska, he played linebacker at Kansas State before embarking on a career spanning…

In a bold and exciting development for Nebraska football, two standout recruits from the University of Nebraska’s 2027 recruiting class have announced their plans to transfer to Millard South High School in Omaha for their senior seasons. Four-star quarterback Trae Taylor, previously at Carmel Catholic High School in Mundelein, Illinois, and four-star wide receiver Antayvious “Tay” Ellis, from Crowley High School in Texas, are both committed to the Nebraska Cornhuskers and will now have the opportunity to play together before heading to Lincoln.

The program aligns with the NCAA’s recent designation of women’s flag football as an Emerging Sport for Women, reflecting the sport’s rapid…
