I once thought it was a long shot for Nebraska to even get in the door of the Blades home to flip Elijah. Then I thought it was a longshot to get him to visit Lincoln. And, most importantly, I thought it was a violent longshot to flip him from Florida to the Huskers.
I’m starting to realize that Donte’ Williams loves me and anyone else to doubt him.

Blades, who is a four-star Cornerback, flipped his decision from Florida and will sign with the Huskers.
Blades is the 138th best player in the 247Sports composite in 2017. He is the 16th best Corner in the cycle, and the 18th best player in the state of California.
Blades has a very skinny frame, but he’s going to be a stud where ever he plays. With how the afternoon went for Nebraska, he’s a good finish onto the class of 2017 for Nebraska with 20 verbals.
