Nebraska officially lost one piece of its 2023 recruiting class Sunday evening.
This time, the move comes from William Watson III, a QB prospect out of Springfield Central High School in Springfield, Massachusetts. Originally committed to the Huskers, Watson flipped his commitment to Virginia Tech Sunday after an official visit over the weekend.

According to the 247 Sports Composite Rankings, Watson is a 3-star prospect and the No. 32 QB in the country for the class of 2023. He was a dual-threat throughout his high school career.
The move by Watson is not particularly surprising at this point. He was originally recruited to Nebraska by previous OC Mark Whipple, and Watson will head to Virginia Tech instead of coming to Nebraska under Matt Rhule.
Nebraska’s 2023 recruiting class currently holds 12 commitments.
