The Huskers have again reached into the state of Georgia, this time adding four-star offensive tackle Timi Aliu<\/a> from Locust Grove. The 6-foot-4 and 295-pound Aliu visited Nebraska<\/a> four times and will take his official visit to Lincoln in June. He chose Nebraska over Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Syracuse, and other offers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey just kept making sure I got back up to Lincoln to hang with the guys, hang with the players and recruits,\u201d Aliu said. \u201cNebraska just showed me so much love.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey (Nebraska coaches) always wanted me there. They connections and the relationships made me ready to pull the trigger.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nebraska has made it clear to Aliu, beyond simply wanting him to get to Lincoln whenever he can, that it really values him in the class. The Huskers have recruited Aliu the hardest and most consistently over the last six months.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t hurt that Nebraska recently picked up a pair of offensive line commitments from Georgia just ahead of Aliu\u2019s announcement. Last week, both IOL Jordan Agbanoma<\/a> and KD Jones<\/a> from Loganville (Ga.) Grayson committed to the Huskers.<\/p>\n

This is another massive win for Geep Wade<\/a>. Nebraska fans were already excited about Coach Wade and how things have looked on the field in a short amount of time with the current roster. There are also early results on Wade as a recruiter. He played a big role with Aliu once he became the offensive line coach in December.<\/p>\n

Nebraska now has four offensive linemen committed in the 2027 class, including Husker legacy Matt Erickson<\/a> from Omaha (Neb.) Millard North. The Huskers are still scheduled to host five-star IOL Albert Simien<\/a> from Lake Charles (La.) Sam Houston, four-star IOL Kyler Kuhn<\/a> from Kansas City (Mo.) St. Pius X, and Barrett Kitrell<\/a> from Ashland (Neb.) Ashland-Greenwood for official visits in June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Huskers have again reached into the state of Georgia, this time adding four-star offensive tackle Timi Aliu…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":665778,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[399,398,396,397,99,291000],"class_list":["post-665777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-football","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-sports","tag-timi-aliu-27-locust-grove"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=665777"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665777\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/665778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=665777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=665777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=665777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
