Former TCU defensive end Ochaun Mathis is headed to Nebraska.

Most expected Mathis to follow former coach Gary Patterson to Texas but he opted to join the Huskers.

Mathis made his decision official on Saturday.

Mathis started every game for the Horned Frogs the past three seasons. He had 4.0 sacks and 7.0 tackles for loss in 12 games last season.

Mathis recorded a team-best 9.0 sacks in 2020. Those were the most by a Horned Frog since Mat Boesen had 11.5 sacks in 2017. Mathis also had 14 tackles for loss that season, which ranked third in the Big 12 and tied for 12th in the country.
