Nebraska made an offer on Wednesday to 2027 safety Cooper Witten, a product of Liberty Christian in Argyle, Texas, and the son of former Dallas Cowboys star tight end Jason Witten.
The 2027 247Sports four-star recruit is a Top 25 player in the next recruiting cycle and he already holds more than 20 offers at this time.
Nebraska linebackers coach Rob Dvoracek made the offer which would signal the Huskers likely see Witten moving down to linebacker.
Nebraska as a program is currently no stranger to sons of NFL players on the roster as quarterback Dylan Raiola and linebacker Willis McGahee IV are looking to follow their father's to the show, but like Witten doing it from a very different position.
Witten is a five-star on 247Sports Composite. His brother, Christian Witten, signed with Rice this past recruiting cycle.
