Texas offensive lineman Peyton Miller is quickly becoming one of the hottest names in high school football recruiting circles — and it appears that Nebraska is climbing high on his list of potential destinations. The 6-foot-5, 295-pound standout from Austin has caught the attention of top college programs across the country, but recent comments and social media activity suggest a growing fascination with the Cornhuskers.
Miller, a four-star recruit known for his strength, agility, and football IQ, recently took an unofficial visit to Lincoln and came away impressed. From facilities to fan support to the coaching staff’s vision, everything seems to have struck a chord with the Lone Star lineman.
“Nebraska’s energy is different,” Miller said. “Coach [Matt] Rhule and his staff really made me feel like I could be part of something special. There’s a lot of momentum building there.”
Sources close to Miller indicate that Nebraska is now firmly in his top five, with a potential official visit on the horizon this summer. The Cornhuskers have made offensive line recruiting a top priority, and Miller’s combination of size and skill would be a key addition to their 2026 class.
Analysts say Miller’s interest in Nebraska also reflects a broader trend — elite recruits from football-rich states like Texas are giving the Huskers a serious look, thanks to an aggressive recruiting strategy and an emphasis on player development.
“He’s exactly the kind of player Nebraska needs to rebuild in the trenches,” said one recruiting analyst. “And it looks like they’re making a real impression.”
While Miller hasn’t set a commitment date, Nebraska fans have reason to be optimistic. As the buzz grows, all eyes will be on Lincoln — and on whether the Lone Star lineman will plant his future in Big Red country.
