Summary

Taylor Gains Five-Star

Andrew Ivins, 247Sports Director of Scouting, said Trae Taylor’s re-ranking to five-star status stemmed from his Elite 11 performance.
He noted the Elite 11 showed Taylor’s pre-snap reads but said his footwork under pressure needs work.
Ivins said Nebraska’s 2027 class adds depth beyond the quarterback, with a stronger line and versatile receivers.
He projected that Taylor’s high football-IQ and better play-action execution will be key for the Huskers.
