LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska has flipped a key recruiting target from Oregon, receiving a pledge from four-star wide receiver Isaiah Mozee of Lee’s Summit, Mo.
Mozee is the son of Jamar Mozee, the former Lee’s Summit (Mo.) North High coach who took a job at Nebraska in July as a senior offensive analyst on coach Matt Rhule’s staff.
Isaiah Mozee, 6 feet and 190 pounds, ranks as the No. 2 prospect in the state of Missouri in the 2025 class and the No. 223 player nationally, according to the On3 industry average.

He is the highest-rated recruit in Nebraska’s recruiting class, which now sits at 18 commitments. The Huskers’ class ranks 27th nationally.
Mozee committed to Oregon in April but took an official visit to Lincoln in June and returned last month after his father joined the coaching staff. In three seasons at Lee’s Summit North, Mozee has accumulated 2,388 receiving yards and 33 touchdowns on 173 catches.
Nebraska’s wide receiver talent has jumped in the past year with the additions of transfers Jahmal Banks and Isaiah Neyor and freshmen Jacory Barney and Carter Nelson. All four are expected to factor heavily in the Huskers’ playing rotation in 2024 — with Banks and Neyor as the likely top two pass-catching targets for five-star freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola, the expected starter.
Raiola’s presence has aided in the upgrade of a group that did not produce a receiver with more than 310 yards in 2023.
