Just days after losing a 2026 commit, Nebraska is back to building momentum on the trail. The Huskers have their sights set on a 3-star tight end, Luke Sorensen, out of Servite High School in Anaheim, California. At 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds, he’s already a force. And once he’s in a college weight program, his frame could become a serious matchup nightmare. So, simply put, Nebraska’s 2026 class continues to trend in the right direction.
On June 20, 247Sports reported it—Servite (CA) TE Luke Sorensen is officially committed. Ranked No. 19 among tight ends nationally and No. 41 overall in California, he brings toughness and versatility to Matt Rhule’s rising 2026 class. Sorensen isn’t the flashiest recruit, but he’s built for B1G football. Physical, reliable, and gritty—exactly what Nebraska needs. OC Dana Holgorsen loves tight ends who can stretch the middle of the field, and Sorensen checks every box.
Now, with Heinrich Haarberg currently holding it down, Sorensen looks like the ideal understudy—ready to learn, grow, and eventually take the reins. While Luke Sorensen made it official, he also made it meaningful. Announcing his commitment, the California tight end didn’t just talk football—he talked heart. “I’d like to announce my commitment to the University of Nebraska,” said Sorensen. “What set Nebraska apart for me wasn’t just the tradition of a historically dominant and winning program.” Because “In the end, it was the culture of the program, the character of the coaches, and the expectation to perform and win at a high level, not just for next season but for the future of the university. They believe in me not just as a player, but as a person,” said the standout TE.
So, it’s more than a commitment—it’s a connection. Following that, Nebraska just gained a player who’s all in, on and off the field. Hailing from Servite High School in Anaheim, Luke Sorensen brings power and polish to the position. According to the 247Sports Composite, he’s ranked as the No. 36 TE in the 2026 class. However, he chose the Big Red over two heavyweights—Ole Miss and PSU. And he’s not just another name on the board. 247Sports’ Greg Biggins calls him one of the best “blocking tight ends in the country.” So, Sorensen’s grit in the trenches makes him a perfect B1G fit.
