Nebraska's recruiting class of 2021 is linebacker-heavy to this point. Louisville.
It just dropped some weight in that regard, however.
Christopher Paul Jr., a 6-foot-1, 230-pounder from Crisp County High School in Georgia, announced Thursday via Twitter he has de-committed from Nebraska and is opening up his recruitment. He said he may have been "hasty" in his original decision-making.
As it stands now, Nebraska has nine players in its scholarship class of '21, and three of them are linebackers -- Seth Malcolm of Tabor, Iowa; Patrick Payton of Miami; and Randolph Kpai of Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
