Former Oklahoma linebacker Dasan McCullough has committed to Nebraska out of the NCAA transfer portal, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

McCullough finished his second season with the Sooners during the 2024 season. However, his career began in the Big Ten with the Indiana Hoosiers. He will have one year of eligibility remaining to play for Matt Rhule and the Cornhuskers.

This past season, McCullough played in seven games for the Sooners. He recorded 17 tackles and three tackles for a loss. Injuries were a problem for the versatile defender earlier in the year, as he was unable to make his season debut until the Red River Shootout against Texas on Oct. 12.

Coming out of high school, however, McCullough was recruited as a defensive back — particularly at the safety position. He opened up about moving around the defense during this past regular season.

“I feel like last year I was playing more DB than I was linebacker,” McCullough said ahead of the Missouri matchup. “I feel like with Coach Alley this year, he’s more so adjusted to me and what to call while I’m out there. So I feel like he has a really good understanding of who I am as a player, so it’s been good.

“I think now it’s just I like my understanding of it has changed. So I kind of like the versatility of me being able to show my zone coverage along with me blitzing and being able to show me in the box, so I feel like that gets to show my versatility.”

Before college, McCullough was a four-star recruit in the 2022 recruiting class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings, which is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. He was the No. 97 overall player in his class.
