Nebraska loses commitment of three-star WR Dveyoun Bonwell-Witte
Nebraska has lost the commitment of 2026 Sioux Falls (S.D) Washington three-star wide receiver Dveyoun Bonwell-Witte.
Bonwell-Witte initially committed to Nebraska back in October 2024, when Marcus Satterfield was still Nebraska’s offensive coordinator and Garret McGuire, now at Texas Tech, was Nebraska’s wide receiver coach. He was the second commit in Nebraska’s 2026 class, following legacy quarterback Dayton Raiola.
As a sophomore, Bonwell-Witte recorded 30 receptions for 588 yards and five touchdowns. He broke his knee early in his junior season and missed the season. He’s back in action as a senior, but is still working back to the shape he was in as a sophomore.
Bonwell-Witte was offered by the Huskers in June 2024 after a strong camp performance in front of then-wide receivers coach Garret McGuire and the coaching staff. After landing the offer, the three-star described Nebraska as a “dream school.”
“”Nebraska was definitely a dream school for me,” he said after landing the offer. “Just because that was the first serious camp I’ve been to, I’ve been going there for three years now.”
Since Dana Holgorsen took over as offensive coordinator and brought wide receiver coach Daikiel Shorts Jr. from Kentucky, the Huskers’ offensive recruiting strategy has shifted. Shorts expanded Nebraska’s board at the position and landed commitments from Powder Springs (Ga.) McEachern three-star Nalin Scott and speedy slot Larry Miles out of Orlando (Fla.) Jones.
Nebraska now holds eleven commits in the 2026 cycle. The Huskers have not stopped looking for receivers, even with two still committed. On Monday, Shorts extended a new offer to Iowa State four-star wide reciever commit Milan Parris, a senior riser out of Akron (Ohio) Walsh Jesuit.
The Huskers now hold the No. 66 recruiting class in the 2026 cycle. Nebraska is aggressively in pursuit of flips at key positions of need, but are positioned to take a smaller recruiting class this year due to roster limits and having a remarkably young roster.
