MUSKEGO - Muskego High School football Class of 2025 defensive lineman Nicholas McCullough announced his verbal commitment to Harvard University at noon Friday on his social media.

The six-foot-three, 250-pound Warriors defender tallied 55 total tackles (35 solo), 5.5 sacks and nine tackles for loss to earn a Classic 8 Conference first team selection last fall. He was also named to the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association's All-Region Team in the 3-Large Division for his efforts last season.
