Nebraska football extended an offer to one of the top young quarterbacks in the country. Lord Malik Heru is a class of 2029 quarterback from Indian River High School out of Chesapeake, Virginia.
Nebraska is the latest scholarship in what has become a growing offer sheet. Virginia Tech, South Carolina, SMU, Duke, and Pittsburgh have all made offers. Heru's recruitment is certainly on the rise, and it seems like the Huskers are working to get in on this recruitment early.
The quarterback had a successful freshman season, with 1,279 yards, 13 touchdowns, and four interceptions. He was offered a scholarship after a conversation with quarterbacks coach Glenn Thomas.
The class of 2029 is still a ways out, but nevertheless, it is smart to get in on quarterback recruitment this early. It will be interesting to see how Nebraska handles it moving forward.

Class of 2027 three-star linebacker Eli Harris committed to the Huskers on Sunday afternoon. The prospect is ranked 139th in the state of Georgia, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings.
Harris had a pretty impressive offer sheet that included offers from Pittsburgh, Michigan, Auburn, and Ole Miss. However, the Huskers won out in the end.
He had a breakout season last fall. He had 67 total tackles, including 17 tackles for loss. This included three sacks and 23 quarterback hurries, according to statistics from Maxpreps.com.
Harris’s commitment marks the first of the day, in a class that has 15 commitments overall. The class itself ranks 19th in the country according to the Rivals Team Rankings.
This is a solid pickup for a program that continues to add depth and talent at the linebacker position. The position is veteran-laden at the moment, but it will need talent for the future. In any event, the program is red-hot on the recruiting trail, and there may be more news to come.

Former FSU Seminoles football commit cornerback Bryce Williams has found his new home, committing to the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday, according to Zach Blostein of 247Sports.
Williams is from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and committed to the Seminoles back on April 1, 2025, after the Seminoles issued him a scholarship in February of 2025. While they fought to hold onto his recruitment, the four-star prospect ultimately decommitted from FSU on Dec. 9, 2025, shortly after they fired defensive backs coach Patrick Surtain.
He is ranked as the No. 315 overall player and No. 36 cornerback in the 247Sports composite. He is also the No. 27 player from Florida.
FSU has had four players decommit from their 2027 recruiting class after back-to-back poor seasons on the field. Four-star cornerback Jaylen Scott flipped to the Auburn Tigers but is now committed to the Oklahoma Sooners, Mekhi Williams flipped to the Wisconsin Badgers, and three-star wide receiver Kaneilius Purdy committed to the UCF Knights.
FSU's 2027 recruiting class has seven commitments, with just two four-star prospects committed. The Seminoles will have a chance to add to the group over the next few weeks as they host several top targets on official visits.
