**BREAKING: Elite Twin Defensive Ends Darryll and Mandrel Dasir Flip From Florida State to Nebraska, Sign With Huskers Over Alabama, Texas, Others**
*Lincoln, NE* — In a seismic shift on the college football recruiting trail, twin defensive end phenoms Darryll and Mandrel Dasir have officially decommitted from Florida State and signed with the Nebraska Cornhuskers, spurning powerhouse programs including Alabama, Texas, Georgia, and Ohio State.
The twin brothers, ranked among the top defensive prospects in the nation for the 2025 class, made the announcement Tuesday morning via a joint video on social media, donning Nebraska hats with the caption: “A New Legacy Begins in Lincoln.”
The commitment marks a monumental recruiting victory for head coach Matt Rhule and the Huskers, signaling Nebraska’s serious return to national relevance.
“We prayed on it, we talked to our family, and we followed our hearts,” said Darryll Dasir, the elder twin by 17 minutes. “Coach Rhule kept it real from day one. Nebraska isn’t just about football — it’s about building something bigger. That’s what we want to be part of.”
Mandrel echoed the sentiment, adding, “We saw what Nebraska’s building. It’s not just hype. It’s a culture shift. We want to be the faces of a new era in the Big Ten.”
The Dasir twins, out of Houston, Texas, are both listed at 6’5″, 250 pounds with elite athleticism, explosive first steps, and relentless motors. Darryll, a 5-star prospect, is ranked as the No. 2 edge rusher in the class, while Mandrel, a high 4-star, is No. 5 at the position. Together, they have terrorized opposing offenses at the high school level, and now they’ll bring that dynamic to Lincoln.
Their recruitment had been tightly contested. Florida State had long been considered the favorite, having secured verbal commitments from both twins last summer. However, a late surge by Nebraska — led personally by Rhule, defensive coordinator Tony White, and defensive line coach Terrance Knighton — turned the tide.
Sources close to the family say the Dasirs were drawn not only to Nebraska’s tradition and fan base but to the chance to help revive a once-dominant defense and become cornerstones of Rhule’s rebuild.
Matt Rhule praised the twins’ character, work ethic, and leadership in a brief statement.
“These two young men represent everything we’re about at Nebraska — toughness, humility, and a hunger to be great,” Rhule said. “They’re going to make an immediate impact on our program, and we’re thrilled to welcome them to the family.”
The flip is yet another high-profile recruiting win for Rhule in 2025, following recent commits from top-100 talents across both sides of the ball. With the Dasir brothers onboard, Nebraska now boasts a top-5 national recruiting class.
For a program hungry to return to glory, this is more than just a recruiting splash — it’s a declaration. The Huskers are back in the fight, and with Darryll and Mandrel Dasir leading the charge, the Blackshirts just got a whole lot scarier.
