From The Fong about an hour ago:
Latest prediction in favor of Nebraska
Tuesday afternoon I joined On3 colleague Chad Simmons in logging a prediction in favor of Nebraska for Overland Park (Kan.) Blue Valley On300 edge rusher
Dawson Merritt.
Merritt has been a verbal to Alabama since June 26 but has visited Nebraska a few times since giving the Crimson Tide a pledge.
All the momentum is now with Nebraska.
The On3 Industry tabs Merritt as the nation’s No. 14 edge and No. 115 prospect overall.
More potential flips on the horizon
Omaha (Neb.) Millard South four-star tight end and Florida State commit
Chase Loftin continues to keep the Huskers very warm. He’s been on campus this fall for practice and a game. Texas A&M is in the mix as well. There is some confidence he could stick with FSU.
Sources continue to indicate that Nebraska is still in the thick of it for Homestead (Fla.) High On300 receiver
Cortez Mills. A pledge to the Sooners since July 1, Mills returned to Lincoln for the win over Colorado.
Waipahu (Hawaii) Kahuku safety and California commit
Aiden Manutai looks to be trending towards the Huskers.
The big fish still out there
The nation’s No. 1 athlete in San Antonio (Texas) Alamo Heights athlete
Michael Terry III may be trending towards Texas on the On3 RPM but communication remains strong with Nebraska and the Terry family. Huskers look like they’ll be in it till the end pushing the Longhorns in this one.
“They were just here Thursday,” Terry’s father said. “Rhule and (Garret) McGuire. Flew down Thursday and spent awhile.”
Nebraska is still battling uphill against Texas but the fight continues.
