Nebraska to host class of 2028 defensive tackle

Nebraska football will welcome four-star defensive lineman Sam Hirschy, a prospective class of 2028 recruit, to Lincoln this fall. According to sources at Rivals, Hirschy stands at six feet four inches tall and weighs 267 pounds. He plans to visit the Nebraska campus during the team's home game against Indiana, set for October 10.

Hirschy is currently ranked as the 27th overall defensive lineman in the 2028 class and the fifth player from Indiana in his class, as per the Rivals Industry Rankings. He has received an extensive offer sheet from various universities, including Indiana, Auburn, Purdue, California, and Illinois.

Nebraska currently does not have any commitments from the 2028 class, but the team is actively building its recruiting list. The defensive line has emerged as a key focus for the program, and the outcome of Hirschy's visit, along with other offers, may determine the number of commitments in the upcoming months.
