BREAKING: Three-Star Wide Receiver Larry Miles Commits to Nebraska Cornhuskers, Rejecting Offers from Kentucky, Pittsburgh, and Miami
In a major recruiting win for head coach Matt Rhule and the Nebraska Cornhuskers, three-star wide receiver Larry Miles announced his commitment to Nebraska, choosing the Huskers over strong offers from Kentucky, Pittsburgh, and Miami. The talented pass-catcher made his decision public on Saturday afternoon, solidifying another big addition to Nebraska’s growing 2026 recruiting class.
Miles, a dynamic 6-foot-1, 185-pound receiver from the Midwest, has been one of the most sought-after playmakers in his region. Known for his sharp route running, dependable hands, and ability to create separation downfield, he brings a combination of speed and technical polish that Nebraska’s coaching staff has been prioritizing on the recruiting trail.
In an exclusive post-commitment interview, Miles said the decision came down to where he felt the strongest personal connection and where he believed he could make an early impact.
> “Nebraska just felt like home,” Miles said. “The coaches have believed in me from the start, and the fan base is unbelievable. I see what Coach Rhule is building, and I want to be part of bringing Nebraska football back to where it should be.”
Nebraska wide receivers coach Garret McGuire played a key role in recruiting Miles, maintaining consistent communication and showing how his skill set would fit perfectly into the Huskers’ offensive system. The staff reportedly views him as a versatile receiver who can line up both outside and in the slot, offering flexibility to exploit mismatches across the field.
Miles’ commitment gives Nebraska another offensive weapon in a class that’s shaping up to be one of the program’s best in recent years. His addition follows several other promising offensive recruits, further signaling Rhule’s focus on rebuilding the Huskers’ offensive identity around young, fast, and disciplined talent.
Recruiting analysts have praised Nebraska’s approach this cycle, noting the staff’s ability to win head-to-head battles against Power Five programs like Kentucky and Miami. According to 247Sports, Miles ranks among the top 100 wide receivers nationally and is considered one of the top 15 prospects in his home state.
For Nebraska, the commitment also highlights their growing momentum in player development and national perception. The Cornhuskers have increasingly positioned themselves as a program that can compete for elite recruits, even against traditional recruiting powers in the ACC and SEC.
Miles will officially sign with Nebraska during the early signing period later this year and plans to enroll early to participate in spring workouts. His presence could immediately boost competition in the wide receiver room, which has been looking to add more explosive playmakers to complement the team’s developing quarterback corps.
> “I want to be part of something special,” Miles added. “Nebraska has the history, the fan base, and now the vision. I’m ready to get to work.”
With Larry Miles now officially on board, the Cornhuskers’ 2026 recruiting class continues to rise, giving Nebraska fans plenty of reason to be optimistic about the future in Li
