Jeudy is originally from Philadelphia, an area where the Matt Rhule coaching staff has strong recruiting ties from their days at Temple.
Defensive edge remains a big need for Nebraska
For Nebraska, shoring up the defensive edge position remains a priority. Caleb Tannor has exhausted his eligibility. TCU transfer Ochaun Mathis is leaning towards declaring for the NFL Draft. Junior captain Garrett Nelson has yet to announce if he plans to return in 2022.
Jeudy was a four-star prospect out of Philadelphia (Penn.) Northeast in the 2021 cycle, who ranked as the No. 178 prospect and the No. 16 EDGE in the country per the On3 Consensus. He appeared in one game as a true freshman, against Prairie View A&M before redshirting. This season, he appeared in just one game, playing eleven snaps against Florida.
He committed to the Aggies over offers from Georgia, Alabama, Penn State, LSU and Michigan during the 2021 Adidas All-American Bowl. A two-sport athlete in high school, Jeudy shined on the track, in addition to the football field.
After redshirting as a freshman, Jeudy was expected to compete for playing time this season, but with the Aggies signing eight defensive linemen in the 2022 class, Jeudy’s situation changed in College Station.
