BREAKING NEWS: Nebraska Cornhuskers land elite 4-star cornerback Jontavius Wyman, ranked No. 14 overall, beating out top offers from SEC and Big 12 powerhouses like Texas, Florida State, Tennessee, and Ole Miss.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers scored a major recruiting victory with the commitment of Jontavius Wyman, a highly touted 4-star cornerback ranked No. 14 overall in the 2025 recruiting class. Wyman’s pledge marks one of the most significant recruiting wins in recent years for the Huskers, who beat out an impressive list of powerhouse programs including Texas, Florida State, Tennessee, and Ole Miss.
Wyman, who hails from Georgia, brings elite athleticism, lockdown coverage skills, and a high football IQ to Nebraska’s secondary. At 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, Wyman is known for his physicality at the line of scrimmage and his ability to shut down top receivers. His speed and instincts make him a threat in both man and zone coverage, while his tackling ability adds value in run support.
The commitment signals a turning point for Nebraska under head coach Matt Rhule, who has emphasized upgrading the team’s talent level and competitiveness, especially on defense. Landing Wyman is not just a win on the recruiting trail — it also demonstrates Nebraska’s ability to go head-to-head with SEC and Big 12 powers and come out on top.
Wyman’s decision was closely watched across the college football landscape. He had taken official visits to multiple schools and was reportedly leaning toward the SEC before ultimately choosing Nebraska. His commitment adds momentum to the Huskers’ 2025 recruiting class, which is now gaining national attention.
“This is a huge step forward for our program,” Coach Rhule said. “Jontavius is a special player, and we’re thrilled to welcome him to the Husker family.”
Wyman is expected to be an immediate contributor and could become a cornerstone of Nebraska’s defensive resurgence in the years to come.
