What Wide Receiver Tay Ellis' Decommitment Means for Nebraska
si.com • • sports
Key Points:
- Antayvious "Tay" Ellis, a three-star wide receiver who committed to Nebraska in November, has decommitted from the Huskers' 2027 recruiting class, reducing the class to 21 commits.
- Ellis, who moved from Texas to Nebraska to play alongside five-star QB Trae Taylor, recently performed well in a high school game but has now parted ways with Nebraska, reportedly by mutual agreement.
- Despite Ellis' departure, Nebraska still holds two notable wide receiver commits for 2027: four-star Khalil Taylor, ranked No. 87 nationally, and three-star Justyn Lindsey, both considered promising prospects.
- Ellis remains a sought-after recruit with offers from 35 Division I programs, including Miami, Texas, and Ohio State, and is expected to finish his high school season before choosing a new school.
- Nebraska's 2027 recruiting class remains strong under coach Matt Rhule, and the team will continue efforts to bolster the class as they prepare for the upcoming 2026 season opener against Ohio.
