On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine: Nebraska trending for top-100 IOL Grant Brix

Nebraska is trending in the recruitment of Logan (Iowa) Logan-Magnolia four-star interior offensive lineman Grant Brix, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.

Following Brix’s visit to Lincoln last month, Nebraska recruiting insider Bryan Munson changed the confidence level of his earlier expert prediction favoring the Huskers from 55% to 70%.

And now, Oklahoma insider Josh McCuistion has placed a prediction in favor of the Huskers with 80 percent confidence.

The visit followed some advertising on the Huskers’ part, as a Nebraska-themed 18-wheeler was parked outside of Logan-Magnolia High earlier that week.

Brix is the No. 94 overall prospect and No. 3 interior offensive lineman 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.

Grant Brix Scouting Summary

On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power writes this about Brix as a prospect:

“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.”
