  "account": "Four-star wide receiver Tay Ellis has decommitted from the Nebraska program, according to multiple media outlets. Ellis is a three-star recruit and the 707th overall player nationally. He was Nebraska's sixth overall player in the class from the state of Nebraska, according to Rivals Industry Rankings. Ellis committed to the Huskers in November 2025 and had offers from Texas, Texas A&M, and SMU before transferring to Nebraska to be closer to the program. The 2027 Nebraska recruiting class currently ranks 18th in the country with 21 commitments, according to the Rivals Team Rankings. Despite Ellis' departure, the Huskers still have a solid class to build from. It remains to be seen if Nebraska can fill the void left by his departure.",
