Teddy Prochazka, 6-9 , 305 lb Sophmore OL, played in five games in 2021 with two starts before suffering a season-ending injury. He was just the 16th true freshman offensive lineman to play in a game in Nebraska history. Prochazka earned the start at left tackle against Northwestern, when Nebraska rushed for 427 yards and gained 657 total yards. With his start, Prochazka became only the second true freshman in the modern era of Nebraska football to start a game at left tackle. Overall, he became just the seventh true freshman offensive lineman to start a game in the modern era of Nebraska football.
Prochazka also started the next contest at left tackle against No. 9 Michigan, but he suffered a season-ending injury in that game.
Before Nebraska (Elkhorn South HS)
One of the top 75 prospects in the country, Prochazka was a 2020 Sports Illustrated All-America candidate. Prochazka joined the Huskers as an offensive lineman after he was a two-way lineman for Elkhorn South High School. Prochazka enrolled at Nebraska in January.
Prochazka was a three-year starter on offense and two-year starter on defense. As a senior, he helped Elkhorn South to a state runner-up finish when he was named to the Omaha World-Herald All-Nebraska and Lincoln Journal Star Super-State first teams. Prochazka was one of the most decorated Nebraska high school players during his career, as he was also an All-Nebraska first-team selection in 2019, one of only five juniors to make the team. He was also named a first-team Super-State selection by the Lincoln Journal Star as a junior and was a second-team Super-State pick as a sophomore.
Prochazka was ranked among the nation’s top 75 recruits by Rivals, which regarded him as the 11th-best offensive tackle in the country and the No. 73 player overall. The 247Sports Composite rankings listed Prochazka among the nation’s top 250 overall prospects and top 20 offensive tackles. Prochazka had numerous offers and chose Nebraska over Arizona State, Iowa and Michigan among many others.
Jaeden Gould, 6-2 , 190 lb, freshman cornerback, comes to Nebraska after being recognized as the top player in New Jersey. One of the top recruits in the nation, Gould played both cornerback and safety for powerhouse Bergen Catholic High School, and he was named the 2021 New Jersey High School Player of the Year by MaxPreps.
As the top player in the state in 2021, Gould helped Bergen Catholic to its 15th state championship, a 12-0 record and a No. 4 national ranking. Gould was a big part of a Crusader defense that allowed 7.8 points per game. He led the team with four interceptions and recorded 27 tackles and two pass breakups en route to all-state accolades. In an abbreviated junior season shortened to six games due to COVID, Gould had 13 tackles and four pass breakups.
Gould is ranked as one of the top 25 cornerback prospects and one of the top 200 overall players in the country in the 247Sports Composite rankings, which also rank him as the No. 2 recruit in New Jersey. Originally a USC commit until the Trojans made a coaching change, Gould chose Nebraska over Penn State, and he had scholarship offers from dozens of schools including Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M.
