Nebraska’s Chief Borders Hangs Out With Top QB Recruit

Chief Borders has by all accounts had a terrific spring practice at Jack linebacker for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Many are eager to see him during Saturday’s spring game, but the truth is that he been up to more than just playing football.

The former Georgia high school football star was back in the Peach State last weekend during the Rivals camp series stop in Atlanta. Many talented players were there, but Borders was hanging around a specific recruit who happens to be Rivals’ and ESPN’s top-ranked player in the country.

That recruit is quarterback Julian Lewis of Carrollton, Georgia. Known as “Ju Ju,” he is a former 2026 prospect who committed to the USC Trojans last August and reclassified to the 2025 recruiting class. Lewis may be committed, but to say his options are limited is far from true.

In a recent Twitter post from Tennessee Rivals (VolReport) worker Dale Dowden, there are pictures of Borders and Lewis hanging around each other at the camp.

Lewis was offered by the Cornhuskers in December 2022, not long after Matt Rhule’s arrival as head coach.

The Huskers are not afraid to fight tooth and nail for a five-star quarterback as they did that and came out victorious with Dylan Raiola in the 2024 class. Lewis might be an even bigger catch, as some see him as a generational talent.

Dowden is a specialist in recruiting but is also a photographer who captured Borders and Lewis on camera. Take a look below.

Big Ten basketball power rankings: Look out for Nebraska

Another week of college basketball action saw significant movement in the Big Ten Conference. Out of nowhere, the Nebraska Cornhuskers are 11-0 to start the season and are quickly ascending the national rankings. They dominated the Wisconsin Badgers on Wednesday night, handing Greg Gard the most lopsided loss of his coaching career.

Along with Nebraska, Michigan, Purdue, Michigan State and UCLA are tied atop the conference standings at 2-0. That top group will likely remain consistent over the next few weeks before the Big Ten schedule intensifies in early January.

As we enter the final stretch of nonconference play, here is an updated snapshot of the full conference power rankings. Michigan remains the leader.

Texas A&M volleyball stuns undefeated Nebraska to make first Final Four in program history

No. 3 seed Texas A&M stunned the college volleyball world Sunday in Lincoln, Neb. with a 3-2 victory (25-22, 25-22, 20-25, 35-37, 15-13) over No. 1 overall seed and previously undefeated Nebraska in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.

The win puts the Aggies (27-4) into the Final Four for the first time in program history. They will face No. 1 seed Pittsburgh in the national semifinals on Thursday.

Kyndal Stowers and Logan Lednicky led the way for Texas A&M with 25 and 24 kills, respectively. Their performances helped the Aggies to a slight attacking edge, with A&M having 75 kills to Nebraska’s 73. The Aggies thrived at the net though, out blocking the Cornhuskers 30-16. Middle Blocker Morgan Perkins led the way in that respect with eight block assists and one block solo.

Texas A&M survived a comeback attempt from Nebraska (33-1) after winning the first two sets. The Cornhuskers rallied to win the third set and then fought off three Aggie match points in a marathon fourth set to force a decider. In the end, Texas A&M overcame Nebraska’s best effort to win the final set and the match on the Huskers’ home court.

The huge win comes after the Aggies needed a reverse sweep to beat No. 2 seed Louisville in the Sweet Sixteen.
