As the president of the United States steps away from the race, Nebraska football is stepping up its recruiting.

The Huskers snagged the commitment of 2025 defensive lineman Kade Pietrzak on Sunday. Pietrzak is the No. 1 ranked recruit in North Dakota and is a 247Sports Composite four-star prospect.

The 6-5, 260-pounder out of Sheyenne High School in West Fargo picked NU over the Oklahoma Sooners and Kansas State Wildcats, among others. Pietrzak had made trips to Lincoln, Manhattan and Norman last month, also visiting Madison, Wisconsin, at the end of May.

Nebraska is now up to 17 commitments for the class of 2025, including five four-star recruits. Two of those five are defensive lineman, with Pietrzak joining June commit Malcolm Simpson.
