Nebraska football alum Elijah Jeudy to take coaching position

Former Nebraska football defensive lineman Elijah Jeudy announced he would be taking a coaching position with Highland Community College. He will serve as the defensive line coach.

Jeudy played at Nebraska from 2023-2025. He came to Lincoln after transferring from Texas A&M. The defender was a reliable piece for the Huskers’ defense, as he recorded 39 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, and a blocked kick in 36 games. He had 18 total tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and one forced fumble in 12 starts in 2025.

He also achieved academic milestones during his time in Lincoln. He was named to the All-Big Ten academic team on multiple occasions.

Jeudy was a staple of the defensive line on the field and a hard worker off of it as well. He truly embraced life in Lincoln in every possible way. Now, he will take the next step in his career.
