USC commit Corey Simms no longer expected to visit Nebraska

A Nebraska target is no longer visiting Lincoln this weekend.

Earlier this week, it was expected that University of Southern California wide receiver commitment and Missouri native Corey Simms would visit the Huskers for their matchup against Rutgers. That is no longer the case.

According to Adam Gorney of Rivals, Simms is no longer expected to make the trip to Lincoln this weekend and instead is planning to visit USC next weekend when the Trojans play host to Penn State.

Rivals rank Simms as a four-star prospect and a borderline top-100 prospect, being ranked No. 107 nationally. The recruiting service also ranks Simms as the No. 20 wide receiver in the country.

In late June, Simms chose the Trojans over Missouri, Penn State, and Nebraska, among others.

The Huskers hold 19 commitments in their 2025 recruiting class, including a trio of wide receiver commitments from Isaiah Mozee, Tanner Terch, and Bryson Hayes.

Alabama commit Dawson Merritt impressed by Nebraska visit

Dawson Merritt chose Alabama in June.

Nebraska football target and Alabama Crimson Tide commit Dawson Merritt was impressed by the show Nebraska put on during Saturday’s win over the Colorado Buffaloes. Merritt was one of the several big-time visitors who came out to Lincoln.

Merritt chose Alabama over Nebraska at the end of June. Early last week, the linebacker was added to the visit list for last Saturday’s game.

According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, the linebacker is the 14th-ranked linebacker in the 2025 class and the best player in his class from the state of Kansas. He visited Nebraska for the Red-White Game on April 26 and kept the Huskers close in his recruitment.

Merritt has four total tackles for Blue Valley High School in Kansas on the season. He was pleased with what he saw from the visit.

“It was crazy inside that place!” he told On3’s Steve Wiltfong (subscription required).

Time will tell if the Huskers will be able to flip Merritt to Lincoln. Nevertheless, it’s clear that the program made a strong impression on him.

Alabama commit to visit Nebraska this weekend

Nebraska is getting a visit from Alabama commit Dawson Merritt

Class of 2025 four-star linebacker Dawson Merritt will be visiting the Huskers for their game on Saturday against the Colorado Buffaloes. Rivals.com’s Greg Smith confirmed this visit.

The Huskers were in a heated recruiting battle for Merritt until the end of June when he ultimately committed to the Alabama Crimson Tide. Meritt is the 14th overall linebacker in the 2025 class and the fourth overall player in his class from the state of Kansas per the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Merritt has visited Nebraska before. He most recently visited Lincoln on June 14. The program officially offered him on November 7.

The linebacker played a big part in Blue Valley High School’s defense last year. The Kansas native recorded 83 tackles, seven sacks, three forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries. His ability to play all over the field and his athleticism were evident.

According to the 247Sports Recruiting Rankings, the 2025 Nebraska recruiting class is ranked 31st nationally with 18 commitments.

Meritt would be a strong addition to the blackshirts. The Huskers need several athletic linebackers in their 3-3-5 defense, and Meritt would be a solid fit.

Nebraska Football flips 4-star WR Isaiah Mozee from Oregon Ducks

Isaiah Mozee is Nebraska’s highest-rated receiver of the 2025 class.

2025 four-star wide receiver Isaiah Mozee has flipped from the Oregon Ducks to Nebraska football. On3.com’s Steve Wilfong reported the news of the flip.

Mozee is ranked as the No. 62 wide receiver in the 2025 class and the fifth overall player in his class from the state of Missouri, per the On3 recruiting rankings. He received offers from Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Oregon, and Nebraska. He initially committed to the Ducks in April.

This commitment becomes the 18th overall commitment for the Huskers in the 2025 class. There are some family ties within the program as well. Mozee’s father, Jamar, joined the Nebraska coaching staff last month as a senior football assistant.

With this commitment, Mozee becomes the highest-rated commitment of the class, per the On3 recruiting rankings. Mozee joins Bryson Hayes and Tanner Terch as the other true wide receivers in the recruiting class.

Matt Rhule recently hired Isaiah Mozee’s father, Jamar, as a senior football assistant. The elder Mozee joins the Cornhuskers after spending the last nine seasons as the head coach of Lee’s Summit North High School. He left the program in February for an analyst role with Central Florida.

Isaiah Mozee adds to Nebraska’s already strong wide receiver room. He will give Nebraska quarterbacks another downfield weapon to throw to. He also gives the Nebraska football coaching staff a big recruiting win in the hotbed state of Missouri.
