Nebraska has bolstered its offensive line with the addition of Rex Waterman from Chandler, Arizona. At 6-foot-4 and 295 pounds, Waterman brings the size and toughness needed to compete in the physical Big Ten trenches.
Originally a high school offensive tackle, he’s expected to transition to guard in Lincoln. Known for his aggressive play and raw power, Waterman is a natural fit on the interior line.
Though rated as a 3-star recruit, Waterman plays with a tenacity that goes beyond the rankings. He excels in the run game and consistently finishes blocks with force. His athletic background as a tackle provides Nebraska with some versatility, but his true value lies in his ability to control the line of scrimmage.
Waterman embodies the gritty, hard-nosed style that offensive line coach Donovan Raiola values. Nebraska is clearly focused on reasserting dominance up front, and bringing in players like Waterman is a clear step in that direction. He may not be the flashiest recruit, but his toughness, work ethic, and physicality make him a valuable addition to the program.
This signing isn’t just about adding depth—it’s about building a unit that can physically impose its will. Waterman looks like a key piece in that effort.
