Friday was a good night for Nebraska football and the good vibes continued on Sunday for one former Nebraska Cornhuskers standout as Cam Taylor-Britt helped the Bengals get a road win thanks to an interception returned for a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals.
Taylor-Britt was one of my favorite players during the Frost era and I’m not shocked at all that he’s found success in the league. The former Nebraska football player has 17 tackles this season, as well as three passes defended. He’s also forced a fumble in addition to his interception. Here’s the highlight.
Nebraska football recruiting updates
Nebraska football defeated Illinois on Friday and two days later, Caleb Pyfrom, a three-star tackle from Omaha, announced his decommitment.
I’m not sure if there is any connection to Nebraska football or not. When he committed to Illinois, there was talk that the Huskers weren’t that interested or saw him as a guard instead of a tackle.
Pyfrom has a number of Big Ten offers and Nebraska still needs offensive tackle help. We are still waiting for Grant Brix to make a decision and it makes you wonder if the Huskers have changed their evaluation of Pyfrom.
The Huskers have also extended a new offer to a 2024 defensive back Gregory Smith III. Smith is a three-star prospect out of Riverview, Florida. He’s ranked No. 741 overall according to the 247 Sports composite rankings.
Smith III visited Florida this past weekend. He was also offered recently by Virginia Tech, Iowa State, and Florida State, and is one of the fastest risers in the 2024 class right now. He also told Bryan Munson of Husker Online that he will take an official visit to see Nebraska football as well.
