Nebraska uses semi-truck to grab attention of Top-100 IOL target Grant Brix
Logan (Iowa) Magnolia four-star interior offensive lineman Grant Brix is one of just eight top-100 prospects in the On3 Industry Ranking that remains uncommitted this cycle.
The frontrunners for the coveted 6-foot-6, 290-pounder are Nebraska, Kansas State and Oklahoma. While a decision timeline is still in the air, the Cornhuskers decided to do some unique advertising to get the attention of Brix, as they parked a Nebraska semi-truck outside of Logan-Magnolia High on Wednesday.
Brix has made several stops in Lincoln to visit Nebraska, including an official visit in June and a return trip at the end of July. He’s also done the same with K-State and Oklahoma. It’s the Sooners that currently have the lead for Brix in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM), though the Huskers have made a consistent push throughout his recruitment.
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.”
