There’s been a lot of activity surrounding Nebraska football and the transfer portal. The Huskers secured their second commitment over the weekend, with even more visitors and targets emerging.
One early target for Nebraska is 6-foot-8 offensivetackle Isaiah World, who has started 35 games in the last three seasons and received Honorable Mention All-Mountain West honors.
World had 420 pass-blocking reps in 2024 without allowing a single sack, making him a crucial potential upgrade for Nebraska’s offensive line.
Returning to the team is Gunnar Gottula, who became the starting left tackle after Teddy Prochazka’s injury. Prochazka, a top-100 recruit, started six games in 2023 but missed all of 2024 due to injuries. Meanwhile, Bryce Benhart, the starting right tackle, is out of eligibility, raising significant concerns about depth in this vital position.
Nebraska must prioritize securing a left tackle to protect quarterback Dylan Raiola this offseason, and the good news is that World will be visiting the campus this week after stops at Texas A&M and with Oregon on the itinerary.
As one of the top players in the transfer portal, World is in high demand, especially since quality offensive tackles are scarce. Reports indicate that he has a ** $ 1 million price tag**, and Nebraska is focused on salary structures similar to the NFL, prioritizing investments in quarterbacks, pass rushers, and left tackles.
World’s upcoming visit signals that Nebraska is serious about acquiring him. If they don’t have a significant deal to offer, it wouldn’t make sense for him to visit. The key question is whether Nebraska will meet or exceed the $ 1 million offer.
If they can, they should; this team needs an elite offensive tackle to complement its elite quarterback, regardless of the cost.
