Omaha quarterback Jett Thomalla commits to the Alabama Crimson Tide
Class of 2026 four-star quarterback and Omaha native Jett Thomalla flipped his commitment from Iowa State to Alabama on Tuesday. This was according to On3's Hayes Fawcett.
The Nebraska native is ranked as the No. 13 overall quarterback in the 2026 class and the top player in the state of Nebraska, according to the On3 industry rankings.
The quarterback had several offers on the table. This included schools such as Alabama, Iowa State, Arizona, Iowa, Missouri, Virginia Tech, and Washington State. The Huskers never offered Thomalia.
The quarterback threw for 3,664 yards, 47 touchdowns, and three interceptions last season for Millard South, according to statistics from MaxPreps.com. He led the Patriots to a 13-1 record and a Class A Nebraska state championship.
The state of Nebraska has seen a rise in local talent over the past couple of recruiting cycles. Thomalla is certainly the latest example of that, and part of a positive trend for Nebraska high school football overall. With Dylan Raiola on the roster, future quarterbacks Dayton Raiola and Trae Taylor, it's not that surprising that the Huskers never offered a scholarship.

Michigan fans: How do you feel about the Wolverines in 2025? Take our Michigan survey

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — At this time last year, Michigan fans were still riding the high of a national championship while working through their feelings about Jim Harbaugh's departure. Heading into the 2025 season, the focus is squarely on the future. Signing five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood created a mix of optimism and urgency for Sherrone Moore as he enters his second season. The excitement is palpable, but so is the pressure. Fans were willing to forgive a down season in 2024, especially when it ended up with upsets of Ohio State and Alabama, but they might not be as patient if Michigan falters out of the gate in 2025. Advertisement With that in mind, it's time for The Athletic's sixth annual Michigan survey, which gives fans an opportunity to weigh in about pressing topics related to the program. Submit your answers by the end of the week and look for a full breakdown of the results next week. Read the results of last year's survey here.
