Nebraska commit announces he is officially 'shutting down' recruitment

[ASFN Admin]

Nebraska football made another significant addition to its 2027 recruiting class earlier this week. The Huskers secured the commitment of Pennsylvania wide receiver Khalil Taylor on Monday night.

Taylor is a consensus four-star prospect out of Pittsburgh. Matt Rhule and company beat out Penn State in the Nittany Lions' own backyard.

The wide receiver enters his senior high school season after a successful junior campaign. In 12 games, Taylor had 33 receptions for 571 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Taylor also contributed on the other side of the ball as a defensive back, recording 22 tackles and three interceptions. The commit told Husker247 and writer Brian Dohn that wide receiver coach Daikiel Shorts played a significant role in his decision.

"Just talking with coach Shorts, spending time with him, me and him relate real well. He's a younger coach. I feel like we bond together and we can work. He had Matthew Golden and Tank Dell. He got them to the next level. Seeing what he did with them, I believe in him 100%."

It's clear the wide receiver believes that Shorts can help him take the next step as a player. Taylor also made it clear to Dohn that he is shutting down his recruitment.

"I am 100% locked in. I am fully believing in them and what they can do and help me out. I am glad it's over and I am ready to get to work, focus on my senior season and them get to Nebraska."

Taylor is ranked No. 90 overall in the class of 2027 according to the Rivals Industry Index. He is the fourth Husker commit ranked in the top 100 behind offensive lineman Jordan Agbonoma (No. 89), safety Tory Pittman (No. 50) and quarterback Trae Taylor (No. 38).
