2024 athlete JD Crisp decommits from Nebraska
Cypress (Texas) Second Baptist three-star athlete JD Crisp has decommitted from Nebraska, he announced on Thursday night.
The Lone Star State product was pledged to the Cornhuskers since Sept. 20. He also held offers from Iowa, Air Force, Navy and Arkansas State.
Crisp is the No. 1121 overall prospect and No. 44 athlete in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 169 player in Texas.
“First and foremost I want to thank God for putting me in the position I am in today. I would also like to thank Nebraska and the coaching staff for taking an opportunity on me and lastly my parents for their unwavering support but I have made the tough decision to decommit from the University of Nebraska and open my recruitment process,” Crisp wrote.
He does not currently have an On3 NIL Valuation. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
Huskers maintain Top-25 recruiting class in 2024 cycle
Following the decommitment of Crisp, Nebraska’s 2024 recruiting class now features 25 commitments and ranks No. 24 in the nation, according to the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. Nebraska also recently lost the pledge of Bay City (Texas) four-star defensive lineman Carlon Jones.
On Nov. 28, the Huskers landed Logan (Iowa) Magnolia four-star offensive lineman Grant Brix, the No. 96 prospect and No. 3 IOL in the 2024 cycle. He chose Nebraska over Oklahoma and Kansas State, giving Matt Rhule and Co. their second top-100 pledge in the class.
“In the end, I felt really good about Nebraska,” Brix told On3. “I just stayed patient. On different days, I would think more about Nebraska, Oklahoma or Kansas State. I waited until I woke up thinking about the same school every day and that happened a couple of weeks ago with Nebraska.”
Headlining the class is Ainsworth (Neb.) four-star tight end Carter Nelson, the No. 58 recruit, No. 6 TE and top-ranked player in Nebraska. He’s one of eight in-state commits.
“I finally saw how they are turning it around there and don’t have any doubts about that,” Nelson told On3 about the in-state program upon his commitment. “I also bonded with the other commits really well and it’s my home state. It’s where my family is from.”
