Nebraska in a real good position to gain 2026 DT from La.

[ThankGODforWVB]

Dylan Berymon, a high 4* star DL from Monroe, LA, visited this last weekend and is VERY high on Nebraska. Nebraska is now seen as the team to beat for his commitment. This would be the highest rated player NU has acquired on the DL as a HS recruit since Ty Robinson committed in 2019.​

Dylan is 6' 2" and 330 lbs.

Reminds Us Of​

Jayden Jackson Oklahoma Sooners



- Broad-trunked, powerfully-assembled interior defensive lineman with corresponding punch and strength.
- Wears 300-plus pounds well considering relatively limited frame in height/length dimensions.
- Powerful point-of-attack assailant.
- Quick off the ball relative to mass and knows how to put strength/power to use.
- Scheme-versatile defender who can two-gap with size and strength, but a penetrator by nature who disrupts timing in the run game.
- Pass-rushing upside may be limited because of physical dimensions and sheer mass.
- Will need to keep conditioning in check.
- Enhances athletic profile with respectable shot put reps.
- Bona fide SEC-style interior D-line body who flashes impressive athleticism and speed-to-power abilities. Fits a coveted position archetype. Should develop into quality high-major starter who could become a pro prospect.

Why’s he Balled to Texas

Why’s he Balled to Texas

Old Crystal ball (from April 2025). He de-committed from Texas in November and didn't sign. He made the decision to visit NU instead and just finished his visit this weekend.

 

[Milo-of-Croton]

This will be huge. Stay after him coaches.

Why’s he Balled to Texas

Texas basically recruited over him. Flipped a guy named Richard Anderson, a 5 star from Edna Carr, away from LSU, and took Berymon’s spot away.

While that is basically true; Dylan would still be the highest ranked HS DT recruit that NU has had since Ty Robinson committed in 2019. Long time since then.

Berymon fits our model in the 4 - 2 or 3 - 3 as a true 0 - 3 tech. Probably more aptly that he would Texas's defensive scheme.

Signing day decision. He is at KY and has an upcoming Okie St visit,

Why is the 12th ranked DL and top100 player in the country down to Nebraska, Kentucky, and Okie State? This would be a huge get for us.

I think he got processed by Texas?

I think he will be an academic redshirt. And those 3 programs are probably the only 3 willing to pay NIL to a kid who won't be able to play next season.

That's my theory anyway. And Texas didn't really "recruit over him, " I believe they found out his core class GPA after 7 semesters wasn't going to be high enough. And when you're Texas, you can afford to move on.

I've always felt 247 has the most accurate high school recruiting rankings. They have him as a top 100 national player. He was dominant on the field, isn't injured, and hasn't gotten into any off the field trouble.

The absence of 30+ schools going after him tells me its grades.

FWIW the staff on TX 247 said Texas didn't like his senior year film and thought he had put on some bad weight

Oh what a world that would be to go after, and get, a solid player like this that didn’t come with caveats

I only want him if he is coming off a catastrophic knee injury that we have to pray heals fully. That is the Nebraska way.

Let’s say we get the kid and he turns into something, he will probably jet.

I’d say the odds that he portals from Nebraska even if he comes here before the end of 2 years are extremely high

Gotcha. Well if I can be honest, I'd want to take 2 or 3 guys like this every year if I was a head coach. I brought this up somewhere already on this board, but Eric Musselman used to talk about he loved grabbing a few transfers every year (when you had to sit out) because it nearly eliminated playing time discussions with 12 or 13 guys. You only had 8 or 9 that could play.

For us with this guy, grab a high-profile kid that won't be mad you are redshirting him. Probably need to get a couple year contract for him or something so when he's eligible they don't just bounce out to play somewhere.

High school recruiting doesn’t mean much anymore with the portal.
