Nebraska has shown up in the top group of several Class of 2022 defensive backs in recent days.

First, it was a pair of defensive backs from Georgia in versatile athlete Jake Pope (Buford) and Mumu Bin-Wahad (Grayson) and now more recently another pair from opposite ends of the country.

Four-star cornerback Benjamin Morrison (Phoenix) and three-star defensive back Avery Powell (Jersey City, New Jersey) each said via social media that the Huskers are among their top contenders in the past day.

Morrison, a standout at Brophy Prep and a consensus four-star recruit, has Nebraska among 10 finalists and has connections to the Husker program as a relative of NU redshirt freshman Javin Wright.

Nebraska scored big in the 2019 recruiting class in landing Wright, fellow defensive back Noa Pola-Gates and defensive lineman Ty Robinson out of Arizona. Since then, the Huskers haven’t had as much success in the region, though they did like freshman walk-on wide receiver Barron Miles Jr. (Chandler, Arizona) enough to put him on the travel roster several times.

Morrison is listed at 6-foot and 175 pounds.

Powell (5-10, 170) plays at St. Peters Prep in New Jersey, a part of the country NU has recruited best when Mike Dawson has been on staff. Powell put the Huskers in his top six along with Wisconsin, Penn State, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Boston College.
