Kitrell Commits to Nebraska

Barrett Kitrell, a top-three-star interior offensive lineman from Ashland-Greenwood, has committed to Nebraska, becoming the 21st member of the 2027 recruiting class and the fifth offensive lineman. He chose the Huskers over Power Four schools like Iowa, staying home to play for his in-state school. His decision followed strong recruitment by offensive line coach Geep Wade and multiple campus visits, including an official trip in June. Nebraska outlasted Iowa’s late push to secure his commitment, continuing their strategy of keeping local talent. Kitrell’s choice also deepens Nebraska’s legacy connection, as his father, Barry Kitrell, played for the Huskers from 1984 to 1988. With five offensive linemen now committed—including Matt Erickson and Jordan Agbanoma—the 2027 class is shaping up as one of Nebraska’s strongest in years, allowing the coaching staff to focus on other critical positions while building a formidable front line for the future.
