ins Darryll and Mandrell Desir Decommit from Florida State, Flip to Nebraska Cornhuskers in Shocking Move Over Powerhouses
In a shocking turn of events that could reshape the future of Nebraska football, twin defensive standouts Darryll and Mandrell Desir have officially decommitted from Florida State and announced their commitment to the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The highly-coveted recruits turned down offers from national powerhouses Georgia, Texas, and Alabama in a move that’s sending shockwaves across the college football landscape.
The Desir twins, hailing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, have been making headlines as two of the most dominant defensive prospects in the 2025 class. Darryll, standing at 6’5” and 245 pounds, is known for his explosive first step and ability to wreak havoc in the backfield. His brother Mandrell, slightly taller at 6’6” and weighing 250 pounds, brings elite speed and agility off the edge. Together, they’ve terrorized high school offenses and are widely considered game-changers on the defensive line.
Originally committed to Florida State, the twins surprised many by reopening their recruitment late in the cycle. While programs like Georgia, Texas, and Alabama were quick to jump into the race, it was Nebraska that ultimately won them over. Sources close to the family say that the Huskers’ pitch focused on legacy-building, early playing time, and a defensive scheme tailored to their strengths.
Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule and defensive coordinator Tony White were instrumental in flipping the duo. According to insiders, they laid out a compelling vision of the twins anchoring a revamped Blackshirts defense and becoming cornerstone players for a new era in Lincoln.
“This is bigger than football,” said Mandrell in a statement. “We want to be part of something special, and we believe Nebraska is the place where we can do that.”
The decision is a major loss for Florida State, who had hoped to make the Desir brothers the centerpiece of their defensive rebuild. It also marks a significant recruiting victory for Nebraska, who beat out several blue-blood programs in what many viewed as a longshot pursuit.
For the Huskers, the addition of the Desir twins is not just a talent boost — it’s a statement. It signals that Nebraska is ready to compete at the national level once again and willing to go head-to-head with the biggest names in college football for elite prospects.
With their arrival expected to create an immediate impact, Nebraska fans are already buzzing about the future. If Darryll and Mandrell live up to the hype, this could be the moment that turns the tide for the program and sets the tone for a dominant new defensive identity in the Big Ten.
