A safety out of Topeka, Kansas, has decommitted from Nebraska’s 2024 recruiting class to join Kansas State. Callen Barta is a 6-2 180-pound defensive back who initially committed to the Cornhuskers back in June.
When he making his original announcement to Nebraska, he talked about the program’s culture as the main reason for his commitment.
But what I was really looking for on this visit — they preach culture and brotherhood and family and relationships — and when I went down there, I wanted to see how it was. Let me tell you, it’s full of that. They weren’t lying. I was hanging out with guys and they treat each other like more than football teammates. They treat each other like family and I like that.
Barta’s flip was a quick one as he had only received an offer from Kansas State as late as Oct. 16. His announcement now leaves Nebraska’s 2024 recruiting class with 26 recruits.
