The Nebraska Huskers are officially putting the college football world on notice. In a massive shakeup to the final Top247 rankings, Nebraska signee Danny Odem hasn’t just climbed the boards—he has ascended to elite five-star status, cementing Matt Rhule’s 2026 class as one of the most dangerous in the country.
From Top Prospect To National Superstar
Odem, the standout cornerback from The First Academy (Fla.), made a statement at the Navy All-American Bowl in San Antonio. His dominant performance during practice week forced scouts to take notice, catapulting him from No. 31 all the way to the No. 19 overall prospect in the nation. Now ranked as the No. 2 cornerback in the country, Odem has already enrolled in Lincoln and is expected to terrorize opposing wide receivers starting this spring.
The Big Men Are Coming To Lincoln
Odem isn’t the only heavy hitter joining the Big Red. Offensive tackle Claude Mpouma, a 338-pound mountain from Mount Carmel (Ill.), finished the cycle strong at No. 153 overall. Like Odem, Mpouma is already on campus, giving Nebraska two Top247 anchors to build their future around.
One Final Piece: The Battle For Dylan Berymon
While Nebraska fans celebrate their new five-star, all eyes are now on the biggest uncommitted name left on the board: Dylan Berymon. The former Texas commit and current No. 124 overall prospect is down to a final decision between Nebraska and Kentucky. After his January visit to Lincoln, Huskers fans are buzzing—could Berymon be the final piece of a historic defensive haul?
With a five-star corner already on campus and a potential top-tier defensive tackle on the way, is Nebraska finally ready to reclaim its throne at the top of the Big Ten?
