Four-star LB Christian Jones commits to Nebraska
Omaha (Neb.) Westside On3 Industry four-star linebacker Christian Jones has committed to Nebraska. He was back on campus for a second-straight weekend this past Saturday.
“After the Colorado game it felt right,” Jones said. “I want to be part of the culture Coach (Matt) Rhule is building.
“Watching the defense play they showed up in a big-time game.”
Jones chose the Huskers over Oklahoma and a slew of others. Defensive coordinator Tony White and future position coach Tony Dvoracek led the charge in recruiting the 6-foot-2 1/2, 215-pound Jones.

“Coach White, I want to be part of Coach White’s system and have coach Rob Dvoracek coach me.”

“It’s close to home and I can be with my family.”
