More than a dozen prospects will be on campus in Lincoln, headlined by five-star lineman Albert Simien, four-star offensive tackle commit Jordan Agbanoma, and top-100 wideout Matthew Gregory, as well a host of other pledges.
Maybe the most underrated visitor of the weekend is Rivals300 defensive lineman Nehemiah Ombati, one of the Midwest’s top big men out of Shakopee (Minn.). The Huskers already a commitment along the line from three-star Jayden Travers, but would love to pair him with Ombati.
Heading into his visit, Missouri and Nebraska look to be the top two teams, with Michigan State running third, according to Rivals’ Greg Smith. HuskerOnline.com insider Bryan Munson has his eye on NU though, logging a prediction for the Huskers on Thursday.
Ombati is set to announce his commitment on June 10 between those three programs and knows what he needs to see from Nebraska this weekend.

“I think what Nebraska has to bring to the table, that I hope they do is that relationship and the long-term development,” Ombati told Smith. “It’s just a fit, you know what I mean? I don’t want to show up to the campus and one of the first few things they talk about is the package that they’ll bring to me if I commit to them.
… Like, it’s obviously that’s a serious conversation to have, but if I can tell they’re more serious about showing the love they have for me and their plan, and I can compare and contrast it going in from Mizzou. It can really help my decision.”
The Huskers will have their chance to do that, getting the final visit before his expected decision next week.
Ombati, who stands at 6’3 and 270 pounds, ranks as Rivals’ No. 250 overall prospect and No. 28 defensive lineman in the class. He is coming off a junior season where he finished with 70 total tackles, 6 TFLs and 1.5 sacks.
