ASHLAND, Neb. — Barrett Kitrell’s four older brothers range in age from 24 to 32. They all played football at the FBS level, as did their father, Barry Kitrell, a fullback at Nebraska from 1984 to 1988.Each of the Kitrells starred at Ashland-Greenwood High in this growing town of about 3,500. It’s less than 15 miles to the east of Lincoln, Neb.’s urban sprawl and closer still to the western edge of Omaha.“A great place to grow up,” Barrett Kitrell said.The Kitrell home sits just a few hundred feet from the high school. Barrett walks to the school, just as he did when he attended elementary and middle school. Passing drivers and pedestrians wave in his direction. He’s hard to miss, at 6-foot-4 and 270 pounds with a full head of blond hair.On consecutive June weekends, Kitrell logged official recruiting visits to Iowa and Nebraska. Then he came home for a week to think. Both Big Ten programs — one rich in recent success stories that involve offensive linemen and the other striving to get back to that place — offered Kittrell in January and have prioritized him as a key target in their 2027 classes since.Early in the evaluation process, Kittrell created a list of factors to guide his decision. Proximity to campus ranked low on the list, Kittrell said. His status as the son and brother of ex-Nebraska players registered even lower.He committed this week to Nebraska, the 21st member of his class with the Huskers and 11th this month.
