Salpointe Catholic star defensive end Keona Wilhite, one of Tucson's top football prospects for the 2024 recruiting cycle, signed with the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Wednesday during National Signing Day.Β
Wilhite was granted release from his national letter of intent at Washington following head coach Kalen DeBoer's move to Alabama.Β
The 6-5, 245-pound Wilhite was previously committed to Arizona, along with Salpointe Catholic teammate and five-star edge rusher Elijah Rushing, but both decommitted from the UA in October; Rushing signed with Oregon.
In two seasons at Salpointe Catholic, Wilhite registered 84 tackles and 24 stops for loss, including 12.5 sacks.Β
