Nebraska football added another piece from the transfer portal, as Alabama defensive tackle Stephon Wynn Jr. committed to the Huskers over interest from Georgia Tech, Texas Tech and others, and officially visited Nebraska the weekend of May 14.
"Just a family decision," Wynn told Husker247 after his commitment on Sunday. "It's the best place for me to achieve my dreams and goals."
Wynn had largely been a reserve for the Crimson Tide during his time at Alabama. A redshirt senior, Wynn appeared in 21 games in his four seasons and recorded a combined 13 tackles. He played in seven games as a reserve this past season and tallied seven tackles.
The 6-foot-4, 307-pound Wynn was a Top-100 recruit out of IMG Academy during the 2018 cycle. A native of Anderson, S.C., he was the No. 3 strong-side defensive end and 74th overall prospect, according to the 247Sports Composite.
Wynn, who said he plans to arrive to Lincoln by early June, is determined to show he can log a lot of snaps, help the Huskers get over the hump and also achieve his goal of making it to the NFL.
