Nebraska football has picked up plenty of wide receiver talent in the transfer portal over the past month, but the Big Red are also looking at high school prospects.

Five-star wideout Tristen “TK” Keys has picked up an offer for the Huskers. The 6-2, 175-pound prospect plays at Hattiesburg High School in Mississippi.

The 247Sports Composite lists Keys as the No. 1 player in Mississippi and 17th-ranked player in the nation. He's the No. 2 wide receiver in the class.

Keys participated in the UANext game earlier in January. He was listed as a top-10 performer when the game concluded.

A number of top schools are going after the top prospect. Besides Nebraska, Keys's suitors include Tennessee, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, and many more.

In order for Nebraska to stand a chance in this recruitment they must get Keys on a visit. Tennessee has done a lot to convince Keys to come to their school and so has both Texas A&M and Ole Miss. Nebraska is trailing behind because of their late start in recruiting Keys, but a new offensive staff, including offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen and wide receivers coach Daikiel Shorts Jr., along with young quarterback Dylan Raiola, could be appealing for wideout prospects.
