Nebraska is now a leader to land Aiden Manutai. Here is the latest.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers aren’t exactly done in the 2025 cycle as they have been searching for some flip targets. After actively searching, the Huskers may have found another one.

That guy is Aiden Manutai. Manutai is a Kahuku High School defensive back from Kahuku, Hawaii. He plays safety and is listed as a four-star by ESPN. Manutai is committed to the California Golden Bears.

Manutai has been a target for the Cornhuskers for a bit of time and started to trend toward the Cornhuskers earlier this month. Manutai was originally interested in Nebraska along with five other schools before committing to the Bears.

Manutai did not make a trip to Lincoln this weekend, which is a good sign for the Golden Bears. However, the Cornhuskers are still in a good spot. The Huskers qualified for their first bowl game in years, which is a positive sign for any recruit.

Manutai is also one of many recruits who were influenced by the addition of Dawson Merritt, who recently flipped from Alabama to Nebraska. Will Manutai be the next flip for the Big Red?
