Nebraska, Miami Make Major Recruiting Flips

Nebraska has successfully flipped four-star linebacker Dawson Merritt from Alabama, marking a significant win for their 2025 recruiting class. Merritt, the No. 85 prospect nationally according to 247Sports, is recognized for his versatility and potential to contribute immediately to Nebraska’s defense. The recruitment was spearheaded by Nebraska's hiring of Jamar Mozee, who has been instrumental in recruiting talent from the Kansas City area. Meanwhile, Miami has made a major recruiting coup by flipping Hayden Lowe, a top EDGE prospect, from USC. Lowe is now the highest-rated player in Miami's 2025 class and brings significant potential given his physical attributes and versatility along the defensive line. Both Nebraska and Miami have bolstered their defensive lines with these key recruits, reflecting their aggressive recruiting strategies.
