Nebraska’s 2026 recruiting class took a hit when wide receiver Dveyoun Bonwell-Witte from Sioux Falls (S.D.) Washington announced his decommitment from the Huskers. Bonwell-Witte had been committed to Nebraska since October 2024.

When Bonwell-Witte was extended and accepted the offer from Nebraska it was under a different offensive coordinator and a different wide receivers position coach. The three-star recruit has been back to Lincoln only once in 2025, when he attended a spring practice.

Bonwell-Witte suffered a serious knee injury that troubled him through the winter and into the spring. He returned for track later in the season but was clearly still recovering. During discussions with Nebraska in April, the Huskers wanted to see him in the summer to re-evaluate his condition and confirm he was fully healed.

Since April, though, Bonwell-Witte never returned to Lincoln. In fact, up until his decommitment, he was the only recruit in the 2026 class who had not yet taken an official visit to Nebraska. The Huskers seemed to have already moved on yesterday by offering Iowa State wide receiver commitment Milan Parris from Akron (Ohio) Walsh Jesuit.

The timing of the decommitment also lines up with Nebraska’s bye week. Several Nebraska coaches will be traveling to recruit. The 2026 class was always expected to be smaller, but there could still be two or three spots in the class, or maybe more, now with Bonwell-Witte’s decommitment.

There are currently 11 commitments in Nebraska’s 2026 recruiting class. The class was ranked No. 66 nationally before Bonwell-Witte’s decommitment was factored in. It was once ranked as high as No. 6 in the conference, but now stands at No. 18.
