Former Alabama offensive tackle Elijah Pritchett will continue his career at Nebraska, On3 Sports reported Wednesday.

Pritchett, from Columbus, Ga., was a five-star recruit in the Class of 2023 and listed by 247Sports as the No. 4 player at his position. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.

In the 2024 season, he appeared in 13 games, starting 11 of them at right tackle and one at left tackle.

Filling a void at offensive tackle had been a priority for Nebraska and head coach Matt Rhule. Pritchett is 6-feet-6 and weighs 312 pounds.

He is the 15th transfer for the Cornhuskers, who saw 26 players put their names in the transfer portal this offseason.
