Following Iowa’s 28-21 win against Nebraska on Friday, Steven M. Sipple and Parker Gabriel went live on Facebook to discuss the game and take your questions.



Nebraska coaches will spend a significant portion of the time between now and Dec. 15’s early signing period on the road recruiting and hosting players on visits back in Lincoln. 

The Journal Star will be updating the latest on the recruiting front regularly in the recruiting ticker. 

Here’s the latest from Tuesday: 

Nebraska offered a defensive back in the South Monday, is visiting him Tuesday and getting him to campus this weekend.

That’s college football recruiting this time of year.

The Huskers first actually started recruiting defensive back Malcolm Hartzog awhile ago, but kicked their pursuit of the Mississippi prospect into high gear this week, beginning with a scholarship offer Monday.

Hartzog told the Journal Star that defensive coordinator Erik Chinander is conducting an in-home visit Tuesday. Then Hartzog is taking an official visit to Nebraska this weekend, though not before his Jefferson Davis County team plays for a state championship Friday.

Hartzog, from Bassfield, Mississippi, is listed at 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds. The Huskers like him as a defensive back. Chinander’s a regular recruiter of the area and has had success finding athletes that fit what he likes in defensive players. That includes a defensive back like Cam Taylor-Britt, who was a three-star prospect who played quarterback in Birmingham, Alabama, and also a player like outside linebacker Jimari Butler, who the Huskers are high on after two seasons in the program.
