Class of 2027 Nebraska football quarterback commit Trae Taylor revealed which coach made the biggest impact on his decision to commit to the Cornhuskers . He credited quarterbacks coach Glenn Thomas as a major influence on his decision.

Taylor is the third overall quarterback in the 2027 class and the third overall player in his class from the state of Illinois, according to the 247Sports composite rankings . Last season, he threw for 3,061 yards, 20 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, per statistics from MaxPreps. He also carried the football 41 times for 342 yards and four touchdowns.

On Monday morning, Taylor clarified what Thomas did to make such an impact on the recruiting trail.

"Only handful of Coaches taught me during my process. @_CoachGThomas (Glenn Thomas) teaching style and the fact that he has coached in the league for so long means a lot to me."

Several teams , including the LSU Tigers and hometown Illinois Fighting Illini, made a push for the quarterback towards the end of his recruiting process. Nevertheless, Thomas’s approach helped to seal the deal.

Now, it will be up to the Huskers to keep the quarterback committed until 2027. That can be a difficult task in today’s college football world, but Thomas should help make that process run smoother.
