Four-star defensive lineman Keona Wilhite (@keona_wilhite34) has committed to Nebraska football, making him the 9th four-star in their 2024 class. Wilhite, from Tucson Salpointe Catholic High School, was previously signed with Washington before being released from his National Letter of Intent (NLI). His commitment is a significant addition for the Huskers, who were able to secure his decision over other finalists UCLA and Michigan State. Nebraska's Defensive Coordinator Tony White was pivotal in recruiting Wilhite, emphasizing the program's focus, which aligned with Wilhite's personal goals. Despite a late recruiting effort from UCLA's head coach Chip Kelly and the Bruins, and even involving the family dog, Creed, in the process, Wilhite chose Nebraska for its focused environment.
