Huskers the latest to offer JUCO DT M’ba


Nebraska fans have been waiting on some new offers for 2022 class recruits. What may have been surprising was the offer to a position other than an offensive lineman or defensive back. Jeffrey M’ba is one of the best defensive tackles in junior college and the Huskers could still be considering taking a defensive lineman in their 2022 class.

“I have been talking with coach (Tony) Tuioti and coach Ryan Held for a long time now,” M’ba said. “We began to talk a couple of months ago.

“Both coach Held and Tuioti recruited and offered me when I was in high school. I was very happy they gave me a chance to play for them at Nebraska.”

Despite having an existing relationship with the now Nebraska staff, it doesn’t give the Huskers any type of edge according to M’ba.

“I am not sure that it really changed anything,” M’ba said. “I guess that it does help because I have met coach Tui before in person and we were already talking before Nebraska offered.”

Nebraska may be in a position to host M’ba for an official visit, but he’s taking that slow. He isn’t ready to limit any of his options by committing to a visit to any schools.

“I really want to go visit, but official visit wise I don’t know. An official visit for me is a commitment to five schools, so I will wait to make sure I make good decisions. I haven’t made any official visits yet.

“I like Nebraska and the coaches there, but I know that I have some more time. I want to take some time and figure out which five schools I will visit because I want to make this decision like a man and not regret anything.”

M’ba has a plan to take official visits in November and December. He wants to sign in December and enroll for the spring semester. He does have some academic requirements that will extend into December.

“I think that I will take my official visits in November and December. I think that I will sign in December and enroll in January. It’s a little complicated because I have two weeks of online courses in December that I have to complete.”

M’ba has some added value when it comes to his remaining eligibility.

“I will have three years to play three. Because of Covid I got a year back.”

Independence (Kans.) C.C. is undefeated and M’ba is a big reason why. He is having a big year for an interior defensive lineman.

“We are undefeated right now, so I hope that we can continue to win,” M’ba said. “I have 16 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, two sacks and a fumble recovery that I scooped and scored with through four games.”
