Nebraska Football Flips 4-Star Wide Receiver Nalin Scott from Arizona State in Major Recruiting Coup
Lincoln, NE — In a major recruiting shake-up that’s sending shockwaves through the college football world, Nebraska has officially flipped 4-star wide receiver Nalin Scott from Arizona State, landing one of the most explosive pass-catchers in the 2025 class.
The commitment came early Thursday morning via Scott’s social media, where the 6’1”, 185-pound receiver from Houston, Texas posted a photo in full Cornhuskers gear, accompanied by the caption:
> “New home. Same mission. 1000% committed. Go Big Red.”
Just weeks ago, Scott was a firm pledge to Arizona State, lauding their offensive system and connection with the coaching staff. But Nebraska’s persistence — spearheaded by head coach Matt Rhule and wide receivers coach Garrett McGuire — has paid off in a big way.
Sources close to the situation say Scott’s recent official visit to Lincoln was a “game-changer.” From touring the facilities to bonding with current players and feeling the energy around the program’s resurgence, Scott reportedly left campus “blown away” by the vision.
> “They didn’t just recruit me,” Scott said in a brief statement. “They showed me how I’d be developed as a player, as a man, and as a leader. I believe in what Coach Rhule is building.”
Ranked as a Top 250 national recruit and one of the top wide receivers in Texas, Scott brings elite speed, polished route running, and dynamic playmaking ability to a Nebraska offense hungry for big-play threats. He racked up over 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns as a junior and turned heads with a standout performance at the Under Armour All-America Camp.
For Nebraska, the flip is not only a recruiting win — it’s a statement of intent. It marks their third 4-star skill player commitment in the past two months and signals that the Huskers are becoming a real presence in hotbed states like Texas.
> “This is what momentum looks like,” said one Big Ten analyst. “Scott is the kind of player that helps turn close games into wins.”
As for Arizona State, the loss stings — especially late in the recruiting cycle. But Scott made it clear that this was a decision based on fit, future, and faith in the Cornhuskers’ vision.
With Nalin Scott now officially on board, Nebraska’s 2025 class continues to rise in the national rankings — and the future in Lincoln just got a whole lot faster.
Go Big Red.
