Cortez Mills Jr. brings four-star upside and early-playmaker flashes to Nebraska
Mills entered Nebraska as a consensus four-star receiver with recruiting rankings that ranged from No. 87 to No. 210 nationally, and his early college production shows explosive-play potential: 9 catches for 147 yards and 1 touchdown in the 2025 season.[1][2][6] At 6'0" with a 78 rating in EA Sports College Football 26, he looks like a quick-hit, separator-type wideout rather than a pure size mismatch, and his senior high-school résumé—79 catches, 1,640 yards, 18 TD—backs up the playmaking profile.[3][4] He fits best if you want a receiver who can create leverage, threaten after the catch, and develop into a reliable chain-mover with upside.[1][4]
