Nebraska football target and Alabama Crimson Tide commit Dawson Merritt was impressed by the show Nebraska put on during Saturday’s win over the Colorado Buffaloes. Merritt was one of the several big-time visitors who came out to Lincoln.

Merritt chose Alabama over Nebraska at the end of June. Early last week, the linebacker was added to the visit list for last Saturday's game.

According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, the linebacker is the 14th-ranked linebacker in the 2025 class and the best player in his class from the state of Kansas. He visited Nebraska for the Red-White Game on April 26 and kept the Huskers close in his recruitment.

Merritt has four total tackles for Blue Valley High School in Kansas on the season. He was pleased with what he saw from the visit.

Time will tell if the Huskers will be able to flip Merritt to Lincoln. Nevertheless, it’s clear that the program made a strong impression on him.
