LOS GATOS, CA — Will Schweitzer’s days as Nebraska Cornhusker have ended before they started.

In a reversal, the Los Gatos High football standout announced on Twitter Sunday that he’s committed to Notre Dame.

The senior linebacker had made an oral commitment to Nebraska in early June.

“When I started the recruiting process, I had 3 goals in mind: academics, football and personal development,” the 6-foot-5 205-pounder wrote on Twitter of his decision to commit to Notre Dame.

“It was hard to believe that any school could give me the best in every area. But today, my dreams have come true. Every box has been checked. I am humbled and very proud to announce that I will continue my academic and football pursuits at the University of Notre Dame.”

Schweitzer had made a statement on Twitter hours earlier explaining his decision to pull out of his oral commitment with Nebraska.

“After a long talk with my parents and coaches, I have decided to decommit from the University of Nebraska,” Schweitzer's statement read.

“I’d like to say that this has nothing to do with the university, the coaching staff or Huskernation.”
