Elite 4-star IOL Grant Brix visiting Nebraska
As Nebraska squares off against Purdue on Saturday, the Cornhuskers are hosting a wave of prospects, including one of the highest-ranked uncommitted recruits in the 2024 cycle.
Logan (Iowa) Magnolia four-star interior offensive lineman Grant Brix is in Lincoln for an unofficial visit, his first since a trip at the end of July. He’s taking in the game alongside a heap of Cornhusker commits, including Ainsworth (Neb.) four-star tight end Carter Nelson.
Nebraska is battling Kansas State and Oklahoma for the pledge of Brix. The visit follows some advertising on the Huskers’ part, as a Nebraska-themed 18-wheeler was parked outside of Logan-Magnolia High earlier this week.
Oklahoma currently has the lead for Brix in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM), though his recruitment has been spread out evenly amongst the three frontrunners. Brix has kept his cards close to his chest and hasn’t hinted toward any sort of commitment timeline.
Brix is the No. 94 overall prospect and No. 3 IOL in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 1 player in Iowa.
He has an On3 NIL Valuation of $102K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
Grant Brix Scouting Summary
“Aggressive offensive lineman with high-end functional movement skills that are among the best at the position in the 2024 cycle. Measured at close to 6-foot-6, 290 pounds. Has good length, particularly for the interior with a 33.75-inch arm. Plays in a downhill, run heavy offensive scheme for a small high school. One of the better movers among top 2024 offensive linemen. Light-footed and moves like a smaller player. Looks like a tight end at times. Fires off the ball with vigor. Works to finish blocks with authority once engaged.
…A dominant blocker at the second level. Stalks down and plants linebackers into the ground. Does what he wants against the competition for the most part. Has an encouraging multi-sport profile. A three-sport athlete as a good wrestler and state finalist in the shot put with a personal best of 50-2.5 feet. Does not face top competition and will need to continue developing in pass protection at the next level. Likely projects inside given his skill set.”
