Ruggeroli, a three-star prospect by 247Sports, chose Nebraska over Power Five schools Arizona State, Boston College and Washington State.

Listed at 6 feet, 6 inches tall and 290 pounds, Ruggeroli also held offers from UNLV, UNR, Fresno State and Colorado State. According to 247Sports, Ruggeroli is the 11th-ranked class of 2024 prospect in Nevada.

A second-team All-Class 5A Division I offensive lineman by the coaches, Ruggeroli helped block for an offense that averaged 49 points and 307.6 yards per game as Gorman rolled to a 12-0 record, a 5A Division I state title and the cusp of a fourth mythical national title.
