In one of the most jaw-dropping recruiting moves of the year, twin defensive ends Darryll and Mandrel Dasir have officially decommitted from Florida State and signed with the Nebraska Cornhuskers, rejecting powerhouse programs Alabama and Texas in the process. The announcement has sent shockwaves through the college football community and instantly elevated Nebraska’s recruiting status to a new level.
Ranked among the nation’s top edge rushers in the 2025 recruiting class, the Dasir twins were widely expected to stay loyal to Florida State, where they had originally pledged last fall. However, after weeks of intense recruiting battles and late-stage visits, the brothers revealed that Nebraska’s vision for their future — coupled with the leadership of Head Coach Matt Rhule — was the decisive factor in their decision.
“We wanted a place where we could grow not just as players, but as men,” Darryll Dasir said during their joint press conference. “Coach Rhule and the Huskers showed us a family atmosphere and a defensive scheme that fits our style perfectly. This is where we belong.”
Mandrel Dasir echoed the sentiment: “We know we’re taking a risk turning down Alabama and Texas, but Nebraska gave us a platform to be leaders from day one. We’re ready to bring the heat to the Big Ten.”
This signing day flip is more than just a recruiting coup for Nebraska; it’s a statement that the Huskers are back in the elite conversation and are ready to challenge the traditional powerhouses. The Dasir twins bring a rare combination of speed, power, and football IQ — traits that will instantly bolster Nebraska’s defensive front.
Fans and analysts alike are calling this the “Recruitment Shockwave” of the season, with many expecting the Dasirs to be future NFL first-round picks. With this unexpected signing, Nebraska may have just rewritten the recruiting playbook and reshaped the competitive landscape of college football for years to come.
Stay tuned as this story develops and the Dasir twins prepare to make their mark in Lincoln.
