Nebraska Phenom Trae Taylor Launches Full-Court Press to Land Elite WR Jordan Frohock: “He’s That Guy”
In the ever-evolving battlefield of college football recruiting, quarterbacks aren’t just play-callers anymore—they’re recruiters, influencers, and visionaries. And in Lincoln, Nebraska, the Cornhuskers have found all three roles wrapped into one rising star: Trae Taylor.
The recently committed 2027 signal-caller out of Carmel Catholic isn’t just sitting back and soaking in the limelight of being a top-15 national prospect—he’s rolling up his sleeves and getting to work on building a dream team, brick by brick. His latest mission? Bring wide receiver Jordan Frohock to the Big Red Brotherhood.
Frohock, a rising talent out of Weiss High School, has been flying just under the radar nationally, but those in recruiting circles know the truth: he’s a diamond in the rough, and Taylor wants to polish that gem in Lincoln.
“When I watch Frohock’s film, it’s like watching a veteran on Sundays, not a high school kid,” Taylor told HuskerMax in a recent interview. “He’s got size, strength, and those sticky hands. When the ball’s in the air, it’s already his. That’s the kind of guy you trust when the game’s on the line.”
It’s a glowing endorsement from a quarterback who has already taken on the role of recruiter-in-chief for Matt Rhule’s Class of 2027. And he’s not just targeting Frohock—he’s going after the nation’s best, including names like Ahmad Hudson, Antayvious Ellis, and Zane Rowe.
But Frohock feels different.
The chemistry between a quarterback and wide receiver starts long before they share a locker room, and Taylor seems intent on forging that connection early. Sources close to the Nebraska program say Taylor has been in frequent contact with Frohock, pitching not just the program, but the vision—a revival of Nebraska’s offensive glory days, with Taylor slinging it deep to a sky-walking WR1.
And the selling points are solid. Nebraska’s offensive infrastructure is evolving, and under the leadership of Rhule and OC Marcus Satterfield, there’s a renewed focus on explosive plays, vertical attacks, and game-breaking talent. Jordan Frohock could be a centerpiece in that future.
“We’re not just trying to build a good class—we’re trying to build a legacy,” Taylor added. “I’m not looking for just anyone. I’m looking for dogs. Frohock is one of those dudes who plays like he’s got something to prove. That energy? That mindset? It’s exactly what we need.”
And let’s not overlook the psychological chess match at play here: Taylor’s aggressive peer-recruiting not only strengthens Nebraska’s recruiting pitch—it puts pressure on rival programs. Other schools are now watching, wary of what could be brewing in Lincoln if Taylor’s vision takes root.
The story of Trae Taylor and Jordan Frohock isn’t just a recruiting subplot—it could be the beginning of one of the most electric QB-WR duos in college football’s future. One thing’s for sure: Taylor isn’t quietly waiting for greatness to find him—he’s out there building it one elite recruit at a time.
And if he has his way, Jordan Frohock will be next on board for what’s starting to feel like a Nebraska renaissance.
