Is 10 wins the ultimate goal for Matt Rhule for the 2025 season? Of course, if the 2024 season is taken into account, where Rhule improved to a 7-6 record with a Bowl birth, then 2024 looks lined up with 10 wins. Also, if his track record at Baylor and Temple is studied, then 10 wins is the least one would expect from him. But in the rare case you aren’t a Matt Rhule believer, then consider Dylan Raiola for a moment.
The guy last year had 2,819 yards at 67.1% in just his freshman season. Now imagine what he can do when he has an under-20th-ranked recruiting class to back him up, with 17 transfers coming in for him. The future sure looks bright for Nebraska now, right? So, with the 2025 season’s future secured, the head coach is looking beyond Raiola and has sealed the future QB who would take the baton from Raiola in the 2027 season.
Well, yes, we are talking about the near 5-star, 2027 QB commit, Trae Taylor, who is as good as a QB prospect can get with time on his side. But he isn’t just a player for Matt Rhule, because he is now donning that recruiter’s hat for Nebraska and influencing commits to come to Lincoln. Take, for example, just recently, the 4-star, 2026 wide receiver, Larry Miles, came to Nebraska. And the news was shared by Tim Verghese on his X account, highlighting the huge distance between Miles’ hometown in Florida and Lincoln. Trae Taylor, however, replied to the post.
He will never get home sick because we better wrap up @DannyOdem3 and @DevinJackson010 … it’s a weapon I’m already very familiar with

“He will never get homesick because we better wrap up @DannyOdem3 and @DevinJackson010… It’s a weapon I’m already very familiar with,” replied Taylor to the X post by Tim Verghese. Taylor was pointing towards the 4-star safety Devin Jackson out of Winter Garden, Florida, and Danny Odem, the 4-star CB from Orlando, Florida. Jackson decommitted from Florida this April, and Odem decommitted from UNC last December, and both players are leaning towards Nebraska, thanks to Taylor’s recruiting efforts. So, with these two players coming in from Florida, Miles might not feel too homesick, right? But this isn’t where Taylor’s recruiting exploits end.
This is a developing story…
