The Nebraska football team continues to build its future by securing the commitment of Matt Erickson, a standout offensive tackle from the 2027 class. The news comes after Erickson’s campus visit for the Houston Christian game, making him the third member of the Huskers’ growing class of young talent.
The imposing 6-foot-8, 280-pound athlete from Millard North chose the Huskers over offers from other Big 12 and Big Ten programs, including Kansas, Minnesota, and Iowa State. In announcing his decision, Erickson expressed gratitude to the coaching staff, stating, «From day one you made me feel like a family and I’m excited to give everything I’ve got to this program.»
Erickson’s commitment holds special significance as he is the son of former Nebraska offensive lineman Mike Erickson. Ranked as a three-star prospect by 247Sports with an overall rating of 88, and rated as the No. 33 offensive tackle in the 2027 class, Matt Erickson is a promising addition to the future of the Nebraska football program.
