Nebraska’s offer is a confidence booster, says 4-Star prospect Ty Keys
Earlier this month, Nebraska football extended scholarship offers not only to juniors but also to sophomores and freshmen.
One of those sophomores receiving an offer was Ty Keys, a 2027 four-star athlete from Poplarville High School in Mississippi. The 6-1, 190-pound prospect is ranked No. 5 among athletes and 35th overall nationally by the 247Sports Composite. He is also the No. 3 player in Mississippi. His list of offers includes top programs like Oregon, Penn State, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, UCF, and Nebraska.
In an interview with HuskerMax, Keys shared his thoughts on receiving the offer from Nebraska.
“I’m grateful for all the offers I’ve received so far, as they are a blessing for me and my family,” Keys said. “Nebraska’s offer was especially encouraging—it reminded me that my hard work is paying off, especially after a shortened sophomore season due to injury.”
The offer came from Phil Simpson, Nebraska’s new outside linebackers coach, who recently rejoined the staff.
“Coach Simpson offered me, and we had a good conversation,” Keys said. “He gave me valuable advice on how to improve my game, which I’ll be working on this offseason.”
Although Keys has not scheduled a visit to Lincoln yet, he plans to visit sometime before the fall.
“I hope to make it to the spring game or one of their summer practices,” Keys said. “I’m looking forward to exploring the campus, getting a feel for the environment, meeting the staff, and trying the food.”
As for which schools are currently standing out, Keys noted that a nearby program is catching his attention.
“Mississippi State has been standing out because they’ve been in constant contact, even keeping an eye on me in baseball,” he said. “Ole Miss, UCF, Oregon, Penn State, Nebraska, and Louisiana are also on my radar, but not necessarily in any particular order.”
