In a monumental recruiting win, the Nebraska Cornhuskers have landed one of the nationโs top defensive prospects. Jontavius Wyman, the elite four-star cornerback out of Georgia and the No. 14 overall recruit in the 2025 class, announced his commitment to Nebraska on Tuesday afternoon, stunning a host of powerhouse programs across the SEC and Big 12.
Wyman, a 6-foot-1, 180-pound shutdown corner with elite speed and ball skills, chose Nebraska over a stacked list of offers, including Texas, Florida State, Tennessee, and Ole Miss. His decision is a massive boost for Matt Rhule and his staff, signaling that the Cornhuskers are back in the mix for top-tier talent on the national stage.
โCoach Rhule really made it feel like home,โ Wyman said during his live commitment. โItโs about more than football there. The vision, the development, the cultureโit just felt right.โ
The Peach State product has been a standout for two straight seasons at Buford High School, widely regarded as a defensive powerhouse in the Southeast. Known for his physical style of play, fluid coverage ability, and elite football IQ, Wyman is expected to be an immediate impact player in Lincoln.
Wymanโs commitment shakes up the recruiting landscape, particularly given the caliber of programs he passed over. Texas and Florida State were believed to be in the lead as recently as last week, and both had sent multiple staff members for in-home visits. Tennessee and Ole Miss were also in hot pursuit, with visits and NIL buzz circling in recent weeks.
But in the end, Nebraskaโs consistency, development pitch, and early playing time potential sealed the deal.
โWyman is a game-changer,โ said 247Sports national analyst Andrew Ivins. โHeโs the kind of corner who can lock down one side of the field. Landing him gives Nebraska a true blue-chip defensive anchor for years to come.โ
This marks Nebraskaโs highest-ranked defensive back commit in over a decade and vaults their 2025 recruiting class into the top 15 nationally. It also signals that Rhuleโs plan is workingโbuilding relationships early, targeting character and talent, and aggressively pursuing national recruits.
With Wyman now on board, Nebraskaโs secondary future looks brightโand so does its recruiting trajectory.
