MJ Sherman, former 4-star Georgia LB, reportedly commits to Big Ten program
MJ Sherman was a 4-star linebacker in the class of 2020, per the 247Sports composite rankings. He signed with Georgia out of high school.
In 3 years in Athens, the Washington DC native has amassed 13 tackles and 0.5 sacks while playing primarily as a backup.
But after Georgia’s recent national championship victory, Sherman entered the NCAA transfer portal. Now he has reportedly chosen a new school. Per On3 Sports, Sherman is heading to the Big Ten, committing to Matt Rhule and the Nebraska Cornhuskers:

Sherman drew interest from schools like Ohio State and Alabama coming out of high school, in addition to Georgia.
Nebraska is trying to turn over a new leaf after parting ways with coach Scott Frost during the 2022 season. Matt Rhule, the former Baylor and Carolina Panthers coach, is taking over the Cornhuskers’ program. We’ll see what sort of role the former Bulldog carves out for himself in Lincoln over the next couple of years.
Good luck MJ.
Nebraska just got better.
Go Huskers!
This kid was showing promise and he woulda got some opportunities in 23. Oh well, can’t keep em all! Good luck in the corn fields; he’ll be a stud in the Big10.
I didn’t know MJ was in the portal. I’m sure glad Kirby recruits like he does!!!!! I wish you great things MJS. Thank you for your time at Georgia!!!
