2025 LB Pierce Mooberry recaps Saturday visit to Nebraska
Pierce Mooberry from Omaha (Neb.) Millard North picked up an offer from Iowa State on Thursday, and on Saturday, he was in Lincoln to watch the Nebraska scrimmage. The 6-foot-4 and 196-pound linebacker was surprised that Nebraska was going live in their scrimmage, and Nebraska is pushing for the talented junior to get back to Lincoln next week.
“It was great,” Mooberry said. “I was surprised. They were full-on hitting and it was even full-go on quarterbacks. It didn’t matter that they were in green. It was full-go. I liked that. I like hitting. The defense was playing good and I liked what the offense looked like.”
Mooberry said that Nebraska’s head coach was very involved in the scrimmage. Matt Rhule was everywhere, giving praise and correcting people.
“The cool thing about coach Rhule is that he’s in everything. He’s right there in the play. He has the whistle and he will blow it and tell them what they are doing good or what they’re doing bad and calling people out. The whole staff had a lot of energy.”
There might need to be some required clarity around where Nebraska sees Mooberry. He thinks it’s as a linebacker, and he was able to watch some of the things that Nebraska was doing with the linebackers on Saturday.
“I think that it’s linebacker with coach Dvoracek,” Mooberry said. “I didn’t get to see all of the practice because we did a tour. From what I did see of the linebackers, I liked how they played. He’s getting creative with them. The next time I go back I would like to watch them a little more.”
Saturday felt like an introduction between Pierce Mooberry and Nebraska
Iowa State offered Moobery while on a visit to Ames on Thursday. Mooberry acknowledged that the visit on Saturday felt like an introduction between Nebraska and himself. The Huskers want Mooberry to get back to Lincoln this week.
“It felt like the visit this week was about building the relationship with me and seeing who I am out of football. I will likely be back this week on Tuesday for practice. They want me to come back again before the spring game.”
The tour gave Mooberry a chance to see what Nebraska is building. The new facilities aren’t finished, but what is there now is already impressive.
“The new facilities are still under construction right now,” Mooberry said. “I feel like the new facilities are going the second to none. I think that they’re going to have a real big advantage with the new facilities to get some players to take a look at them.”
Mooberry will likely be back in Lincoln this weekend. The question becomes whether he will be back once or twice. He has another opportunity to return for the spring game, but there is another spring game he’s invited to.
“I am in a spot here if I want to go to Nebraska’s spring game or go to Iowa State’s spring game. They are on the same day. I have a decision to make.”
