In a developing story that has Nebraska football fans on edge, former Huskers head coach Scott Frost is making a strong push to flip a key wide receiver commit. Class of 2027 standout Kaden Howard, a wide receiver from Palmetto High School in Miami, Florida, is set to visit UCF this weekend as Frost and the Knights continue their recruiting efforts.

Howard, who committed to Nebraska earlier this year, has a busy June ahead. According to Bryan Munson of Husker Online, the talented receiver will take an official visit to Nebraska on June 12, followed by a trip to UCF on June 19. The visits come at a critical time, as Frost looks to rebuild his program in Orlando after a 5-7 season in 2024.

Howard's high school stats speak volumes about his potential. Last season, he hauled in 25 receptions for 510 yards and seven touchdowns, showcasing the kind of big-play ability that makes him a coveted prospect. His 20.4 yards-per-catch average is a stat that will catch the eye of any college offensive coordinator.

Frost, who coached Nebraska from 2018 to 2022 with a 16-31 record, is now in his second stint with UCF. The Knights are clearly prioritizing Howard, and the timing of this visit could add some drama to the recruiting trail. For Nebraska, keeping Howard committed is a top priority as they build for the future under their current coaching staff.

Stay tuned as this recruiting battle heats up—this is one to watch for any college football fan.
