AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementTrae Taylor is doubling down on his commitment to the Huskers by moving here early!Wait – Dylan Raiola did the same thing moving to Buford, GA, to double down on his commitment to the Dawgs. This is different – Trae has only played for one other high school as opposed to to Dylan playing for four different ones in four years. Wait a minute – Millard South? Wasn’t this the team with 17 college commitments, 10 to Division 1/FBS schools?The team who blew through the season beating opponents by an average of about 68-7 and literally outscored their 4 opponents in the playoffs 204-27? Led to more than a few upset folks and “discussions” about how they managed to load such a talent-heavy roster. THAT’s who’s getting Trae?My first thought – Trae’s been quite the recruiter for the Huskers – will he try to bring any of his Class of 2027 future Huskers teammates to Lincoln to join him on that daily commute to school?As it turned out, fate didn’t even let the night pass for me to get that thought in digital print before the 2nd national prospect and 2027 Husker commit announced his intentions as well to join Taylor with the Patriots for their senior season. But first things first – yes, Trae Taylor plans to move to Lincoln and live there with his mother while making the daily drive to Millard South for a single semester this fall before enrolling early in Lincoln for the 2027 spring semester.
