As first reported by Bryan Munson of HOL/Rivals and confirmed by Sam McKewon of the Omaha World-Herald, Nebraska Defensive Tackle Deiontae Watts will not be heading to Lincoln.

Watts, according to several folks, did not get the proper test scores to enroll at Nebraska this coming Fall.

Watts' mother, Sandra, told me her son isn't coming. It's fair to say it's uncertain right now if Watts plays anywhere in the fall. #huskers

Nebraska knew he was a risk when he signed, but was hoping that he’d pass his test scores and enroll.
