Williams Nwaneri has committed to the Nebraska Cornhuskers out of the NCAA Transfer Portal.
After planning to enter the portal on Tuesday, Nwaneri officially entered on Thursday with a do-not contact tag. Since then, RPM Predictions on him, including those of On3’s Pete Nakos and Steve Wiltfong, picked the ‘Huskers to earn his transfer commitment at 100%. With that, it’s also of note that Jamar Mozee, a senior assistant on staff in Lincoln, was Nwaneri’s coach in high school. He left the school for a job on staff at UCF before coming to Nebraska in July.
Nwaneri eventually committed to the in-state program at Mizzou over other schools like Georgia, Oklahoma, and Tennessee amongst other top national interest and later signed as one of the top-rated prospects in school history. That recruitment included three unofficial visits to Lincoln from January of 2022 to March of 2023.
This is a major get for Matt Rhule and Nebraska just a year into the college career of Nwaneri. They’ll now look to develop what they’re adding in him with one of the nation’s top prospects coming to Lincoln from out of the portal.
