  "account": "Nebraska football is eyeing four-star tight end Israel Johnigan from the class of 2028. According to Husker Online’s Bobby Schneider, Johnigan is set to visit Nebraska multiple times, including for a game-day visit against Indiana on October 10. The prospect earned an offer upon Nebraska’s Battle of the Boneyard camp in June. Ranked 299th overall in the 2028 class, Johnigan holds the 14th position among players at his position and the fourth overall player from Missouri. Besides Nebraska, he has offers from Iowa State, Kansas, Minnesota, and Illinois. The Huskers require tight end depth for the future, given the strong upperclassman experience already present. Luke Lindenmeyer leads the group, with Carter Nelson and Luke Sorensen also being noteworthy. With Lindenmeyer’s departure, Johnigan could be a valuable addition to bolster the position.",
