A great weekend for Nebraska football, with not only a win on the field, but also wins on the recruiting front.

The No. 1 player in the state of Nebraska in the class of 2025 has officially committed to the Cornhuskers. Four-star linebacker from Omaha Westside, Christian Jones made the announcement on social media Monday night.

The caption of the post reads, “THROW THE BONES.” Jones concludes the video by walking out of a row of cornfields in a Blackshirts T-shirt and saying, “There is no place like Nebraska.”

The 6-2, 215-pound recruit is the No. 19 linebacker in the country and is ranked No. 161 among national prospects, according to the 247Sports Composite. Jones chose the Huskers over USC, Boston College, Iowa and Iowa State.

247Sports Scouting Analyst Gabe Brooks gave Jones high marks for his athleticism.

“Motor runs hot and shows itself in pursuit,” Brooks said. “Exhibits good linear closing speed but can also redirect to rally. Can provide core value on special teams early in college career. Exhibits functional strength as a defender with the ability to play through contact with clear core strength and body control”

Nebraska’s 2025 class now stands at 19 commits. Seven of the commits are 247Sports Composite four-stars: Jones, wide receiver Isaiah Mozee, quarterback TJ Lateef, defensive lineman Malcolm Simpson, defensive lineman Kade Pietrzak, running back Jamarion Parker and cornerback Bryson Webber.
