Even if it feels like Nebraska football gets the short of the stick, it’s not every week that the Huskers play on a Friday.
Nebraska football fans on social media have shown different opinions on the game against Illinois being on Friday night. No matter your opinion, one thing that becomes a negative is the recruiting.
Nebraska has done a great job with game day visits to start the season, but that won’t be the case this week. That is because most high schools play their football games on Friday nights. This means the visit list for Friday’s game will be cut tremendously. It also means the recruits who would be interested in watching the game from home will not be able to due to their own game.
Note: In Lincoln, the high schools have moved their contests to Thursday. Not all surrounding towns made that same decision, though.
This is a huge negative for the Huskers despite there being no prime time competition, because it’s a home game for the Cornhuskers. It’s a matchup of two top-25 teams, but the visitor list will be on par with last week’s game against FCS school Northern Iowa, with the chance of even fewer recruits attending.
There is still one major recruiting target who could potentially find a way to visit. This isn’t a confirmed deal, but 2025 five-star Michael Terry III from San Antonio, Texas, could attend because he and his Alamo Heights Mules will take on Clemens High School on Thursday night. At least the door is open.
A few other recruits will be in attendance, including 2025 commits Christian Jones and Jackson Carpenter. If Terry can make it to campus, that would be the headline this weekend in Nebraska recruiting.
