Who all was after this sumbitch
It’s been a busy week of transfer portal visitor activity for Nebraska. On Tuesday, NU landed its third portal commitment of the 2025 cycle from East Tennessee State defensive lineman
Jaylen George.
The 6-foot-2, 260-pound George told
HuskerOnline he committed to the Huskers on Tuesday, and his signing with the school should be announced as early as tomorrow.

“I just signed the papers,” George told
HuskerOnline. I loved everything about the visit – the facilities, academics and the people. Everything was amazing and top-tier. It was honestly jaw-dropping.”
George joins Missouri EDGE
Williams Nwaneri and New Hampshire long snapper
Kevin Gallic as members of Nebraska’s 2025 portal class, with several more additions expected.
George comes to NU with three years to play two.
“They see me as more of a run stopping defensive end that can also blitz from all angles,” George said.
George was a first-team all-conference selection in 2024
As a sophomore at ETSU, George was a
first-team all-conference selection with 33 total tackles and six tackles for loss, and half a sack.
Before entering the portal, George had no connection to Nebraska or its coaching staff.
“They just found me in the portal,” George said. “Then they saw that I was an all-conference selection and really liked my film and saw that I made plays.”
Even though Nebraska has not officially announced its new defensive line coach
Terry Bradden, George said he was also able to visit with him briefly.
“We talked on the phone, and he said he can’t wait to get up there and coach me,” George said.
Besides Nebraska, George also heard from Louisville, Tulsa and Buffalo. However, he had his sights set on the Huskers and he intended to commit if everything checked out on the visit.
“I’m excited to get to work,” George said. “I’ll be back up there in January.
