2027 NFL DRAFT TRACKER: NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS
Location: Lincoln, NE || Conference: B1G || Head Coach: Matt Rhule (3 Years: 19-19; Career: 66-62) || NFL Draft Picks Under Rhule: 3 (1.0 per year) || First Round Picks Under Rhule: 0 || Number of 2026 NFL Draft Picks: 1 || Cornhuskers in NFL: 15 (as of 6/09/26)
Once a blue-blood program, Nebraska hit rock bottom under Scott Frost (2018-22). The school has since gone from a bottom of the barrel program to a respectable one during the past three years with Matt Rhule. However, premier talent has been hard to come by when it comes to NFL prospects. Only five Cornhuskers have been drafted during that span and just one player in the 2026 NFL Draft (Emmett Johnson Rd5-Chiefs).
Surprisingly, the school has not had an offensive lineman drafted in five years. That streak will likely come to a halt in the 2027 NFL Draft. Nearly the entire Nebraska starting offensive line is on the NFL radar, led by offensive tackle Elijah Pritchett (photo: Nebraska Athletics). The former five-star recruit originally began his career at Alabama and brings experience at both the left and right tackle positions.
Manning the middle is experienced center Justin Evans, one of the best in the nation. Another versatile player, Evans has experience at all three spots along the interior of the offensive line and utilizes sound, crisp technique to compensate for his lack of size. Meanwhile, veteran offensive guard Brendan Black comes over from Iowa State, where he started parts of three seasons for the Cyclones. On defense, the strength lies within the secondary.
