Nebraska football has been busy on the recruiting trail as of late, and a new report indicates that more good news may be coming.
Rivals.com’s Greg Smith had a prediction for 2025 four-star linebacker Christian Jones to come to Lincoln.
Jones is the 19th overall linebacker in the 2025 class, and the top player in his class from the state of Nebraska, per the 247Sports Rankings. The linebacker is rated as a 91 overall numerically. Nebraska football has been very much been in his recruitment from the get go.
As Smith notes, Jones still has visits on the table. Miami is a visit to watch, and the linebacker is taking it at the end of July. Nevertheless, Smith believes that
Jones will stay home.
This would be a big get for Nebraska football
This would certainly be a big get for the program. They have been coveting Jones for quite some time now. They also desperately need a linebacker. After missing out on Dawson Merritt, Jones would be the perfect player to give Nebraska that impact playmaker. It’s also worth noting that Jones would be another blue-chip player for the program in this class.
