Dawson Merritt, a highly sought-after four-star linebacker from Blue Valley High School in Overland Park, Kansas, has officially committed to playing for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Despite Nebraska’s efforts to recruit him, this decision was widely expected in the recruiting industry.
Notable players such as quarterback TJ Lateef, running back Jamarion Parker, and defensive lineman Malcolm Simpson have already committed to Nebraska. This news is disappointing for the Huskers as they continue to assemble a strong 2025 recruiting class with 11 commitments secured so far.
Despite the setback of losing Merritt, Nebraska’s coaching staff remains focused on building a successful program.
