After finishing the regular NCAAF season with a positive record of seven wins and six losses, along with a victory in the Pinstripe Bowl against Boston College, the Nebraska Cornhuskers‘ campaign can be considered a success. Despite this, they are already looking ahead, and for the upcoming season, Dylan Raiola will add a former teammate of Jalen Milroe from Alabama to his team.
According to reporter Hayes Fawcett, via his official X (formerly Twitter) account @Hayesfawcett3, the player joining to strengthen Matt Rhule‘s team is offensive tackle Elijah Pritchett.
“BREAKING: Alabama OT transfer Elijah Pritchett has Committed to Nebraska, he tells @on3sports. The 6’6 330 OT started all 13 games for the Crimson Tide this season. Was one of the Top Available OTs in the Portal. 2 years of eligibility remaining,” Fawcett stated.
Last season, Pritchett participated in every game for Kalen DeBoer’s team, playing a key role in protecting Jalen Milroe throughout the entire season.
Jalen Milroe #4 of the Alabama Crimson Tide celebrates after his rushing touchdown against the Georgia Bulldogs with Parker Brailsford #72 and Elijah Pritchett #57 during the second quarter at Bryant-Denny Stadium on September 28, 2024 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Pritchett’s arrival at Nebraska could strengthen an offensive line that faced several challenges throughout the season. Undoubtedly, a high-quality addition for Matt Rhule’s team.
