Matt Rhule’s Strong Connections with Chiefs’ Coach Benefit Nebraska as They Secure Top elite Recruit from Alabama.
It often comes down to who you know rather than what you know. This doesn’t take away from Matt Rhule’s qualifications—the current head coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers boasts extensive experience across both college and professional football. Throughout his career, he has taken on various roles and forged valuable relationships, and now those connections seem to be paying off, particularly in recruitment.
After a 5-5 season, Nebraska fans are eager for improvement in the upcoming year, and recent developments suggest their hopes may be realized. The program has successfully recruited 4-star linebacker, who was seriously pursued by Kalen DeBoer and Alabama. Rhule’s personable approach played a significant role in this outcome.
Dawson Merritt recently appeared on the Carriker Chronicles YouTube channel for an interview with former Husker Adam Carriker. When asked about Matt Rhule’s influence on his decision, Dawson shared:
“So basically, Matt Rhule and my dad coached together at the New York Giants back in the early 2000s. So they’ve always had a relationship. if I’m being honest with you, that was the one thing that really had me and my family’s minds set on taking a trip to Lincoln and seeing Matt Rhule”. “[My dad] spoke very highly of him so I mean that was just an initial thing that helped us go to Nebraska and take a visit in the first place”.
