Class of 2026 four-star Nebraska football linebacker target Calvin Thomas committed to North Carolina on Saturday. He made the announcement on social media.
Thomas is the No. 26 overall linebacker in the 2026 class and the No. 45 overall player in his class from the state of Texas, according to the On3 recruiting rankings. Thomas visited Nebraska most recently on June 13 for an official visit.
This is certainly a disappointing recruiting loss for the program. Thomas would have been a great addition to the linebacker room. He recorded 69 tackles, seven sacks, and an interception last season, according to statistics from Maxpreps.com.
Currently, the 2026 Nebraska football recruiting class ranks No. 47 overall and No. 15 in the Big Ten. They have a total of 12 commitments, according to the On3 recruiting rankings. This has the makings of a smaller recruiting class.
The Huskers were once considered a favorite for Thomas, but ultimately the Tar Heels prevailed. Nevertheless, the Huskers have a solid stable of linebackers, both currently on the roster and for the future.
