  02/07/23 - Anthony Grant, rSr/2024, Nebraska, 5-11, 221 (DS#93 RB) + More +

  In an offseason that featured roster overhaul at just about every position, Nebraska's running backs remain mostly unchanged heading into 2023. All four of Nebraska's top running backs from last year - Anthony Grant, Ajay Allen, Rahmir Johnson and Gabe Ervin Jr. - are back for another season. Running backs coach EJ Barthel has already gotten to work identifying the strengths in his room. Barthel called Grant a "powerful runner," while Allen is "dynamic" and Johnson has "elite speed." Their collective talents led Nebraska to add talent at other positions, with incoming freshman Kwinten Ives being the only scholarship addition at running back.

"The transfer portal wasn't something I was really interested into, or that Coach Rhule wasn't interested into," Barthel said on Jan. 12. "After evaluating the tape and looking at some of the guys on the roster, I'm just really excited about the group. There's a lot of potential out there in how they run the football." Grant was Nebraska's most consistent running back in 2022, handling double-digit carries in all 12 games. However, the success of those carries was highly variable - Grant totaled 600 of his 915 rushing yards in the first six games of the season before struggling against the Big Ten's best run defenses. - Lincoln Journal Star

  01/18/23 - MJ Sherman, rSr/2025, Nebraska, 6-2, 247 (DS#49 OLB) + More +

  Nebraska picked up a major piece out of the transfer portal Monday as former five-star edge rushing prospect MJ Sherman committed to the Huskers. Sherman, who visited Lincoln over the weekend, was a three-year contributor with Georgia and a key special teams cog on two national title squads. The 6-foot-2, 250-pounder was a top-50 national player in the 2020 cycle who turned down the likes of Alabama and Ohio State as a blue-chip recruit. He has two years of eligibility remaining plus a potential redshirt.

Sherman's mother, Sussie Sharpe, confirmed her son's decision on social media. "Husker Nation, it's official!" she wrote. "Team Sherman is coming home!" Sherman played high school football in the Washington D.C. area and grew up in Baltimore. He entered the portal last Friday in what was considered a surprise move at the time. The linebacker saw just 140 defensive snaps across three seasons and 39 games, getting far more action on special teams. His relatively limited role and stat line - 15 career tackles - is more a product of Georgia's embarrassment of elite talent rather than his own struggles. - Lincoln Journal Star

  01/15/23 - Zavier Betts, rJr/2025, Nebraska, 6-2, 200 (DS#999 WR) + More +

  Nebraska is in talks with former standout receiver Zavier Betts about a return to the football team. The possibility of an NU comeback - perhaps even likelihood - was confirmed by two sources with knowledge of the situation. Momentum picked up considerably since Betts entered the transfer portal Jan. 3, when a source said the Bellevue West graduate was not on NU's radar at that time. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Betts sat out the 2022 season after leaving the Huskers in March.

That after flashing elite speed and playmaking ability during his two-year stint in Lincoln that spanned 18 games, 32 catches and 417 receiving yards. He was NU's second-leading receiver in 2021 with 20 grabs for 286 yards while adding three carries for 109 yards and a touchdown. Betts' sudden departure from NU was not related to discipline for any on-field or off-field issues, sources said in the spring, but more because of football burnout. Then-coach Scott Frost declined to get into specifics, repeatedly saying Betts is was not a member of the team at the time. - Lincoln Journal Star

  01/14/23 - Quinton Newsome, rSr/2024, Nebraska, 6-0, 185 (DS#67 CB) + More +

  New Nebraska secondary coach Evan Cooper, who worked with cornerbacks while with the Carolina Panthers, knows what a NFL player looks like and thinks he has a few on his roster. "I think we have some NFL DBs on the roster - guys that look like the guys I just finished coaching," he said. The entire group that started down the stretch in 2022 is set to return in corners Quinton Newsome and Malcolm Hartzog along with safeties Marques Buford and Myles Farmer. Isaac Gifford and Javin Wright - both of whom have started at nickelback - are back, too. Only senior Brandon Moore moves on, while NU adds a former top national safety prospect from the portal (Florida's Corey Collier) and four high school prospects. - Omaha World Herald

  01/12/23 - Billy Kemp IV, rSr/2024, Nebraska, 5-09, 180 (DS#217 WR) + More +

  Nebraska struck gold on receiver transfer additions the previous two offseasons. It will have a chance to do so again after landing another veteran Power Five performer out of the portal on Monday night. Former Virginia wideout Billy Kemp committed to the Huskers following a weekend visit to campus. The 5-foot-9, 172-pounder piled up 1,174 receiving yards and 192 grabs - fourth most in school history - during his five college campaigns spanning 50 games (25 starts). He chose Nebraska over interest from at least half a dozen other Power Five suitors.

Kemp has one season of eligibility remaining because of a recent NCAA decision granting Virginia seniors an extra year in the wake of the November shooting deaths of three football players and subsequent cancellation of the team's final two games. He had initially declared for the draft last month before entering the portal Dec. 30. NU has hit well on portal receivers of late, serving as a one-season springboard into the NFL for Samori Toure (2021) and Trey Palmer (2022). - Lincoln Journal Star

  12/28/22 - Garrett Nelson, rJr/2023, Nebraska, 6-3, 248 (DS#40 DE) + More +

  Nebraska defensive star and captain Garrett Nelson will forgo a final season of college football and turn pro, he announced Tuesday on social media. The edge rusher and Scottsbluff native declared for the 2023 NFL Draft in a lengthy letter thanking fans, coaches and teammates. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound Nelson - who concluded his Husker career with 32 consecutive starts - got better as he went along. He landed second-team All-Big Ten honors in his fourth and final season after logging 65 tackles and 5.5 sacks. The co-captain turns 23 in March and earned a degree in finance last May. He leaves Nebraska with 167 career tackles, including 26 for loss with 12 sacks. - Lincoln Journal Star

  11/28/22 - Trey Palmer, rJr/2023, Nebraska, 6-0, 192 (DS#13 WR) + More +

  Barely 12 hours after setting a school record for receiving yards in a season, Nebraska wideout Trey Palmer is turning his attention to the next level. Palmer declared for the NFL draft on Saturday morning, marking an end to 11 months as a Husker that was both brief and memorable. The former five-star recruit followed coach Mickey Joseph from LSU to Lincoln and broke out in his fourth college season, It culminated Friday evening in Iowa City as the Kentwood, La., native made nine catches for 165 yards that included two touchdowns in Nebraska's 24-17 win over Iowa.

His blazing speed was on display throughout, including as he separated from defenders with an 87-yard scoring bomb. "They can't guard me - that's all I seen," Palmer said. "They can't guard me or they can't run with me. That's what I did." Palmer finished the season with 1,043 receiving yards, breaking the school mark set by Stanley Morgan Jr. (1,004) in 2018. He's the second Husker to hit the 1,000-yard receiving plateau in one campaign. He also set the NU single-game receiving record when he amassed 237 yards against Purdue last month. Asked Friday evening about his future plans, Palmer said he wasn't sure and was "just going day by day." That changed Saturday morning as he announced his intentions minutes after Nebraska officially unveiled Matt Rhule as its new permanent head coach. - Lincoln Journal Star

  10/26/22 - Nick Henrich, rSr/2025, Nebraska, 6-3, 235 (DS#999 ILB) + More +

  Based on athletic director Trev Alberts' previous comments, this felt like the likely conclusion for inside linebacker and captain Nick Henrich. Joseph confirmed that it's a season-ending knee injury for the Omaha Burke graduate. Through Henrich's truncated season, he recorded 37 tackles in five games. Garrett Nelson, Henrich's roommate, said Henrich is in good spirits, despite it all. "Yeah, he's my middle linebacker, but first off, he's my best friend," Nelson said. "I'd rather have him healthy and himself than out there playing a little banged up and not doing well." Nelson continued: "He's doing well. He's a warrior. He'll be good." In other injury news, fellow linebacker Luke Reimer will be back this week, Joseph said. - Lincoln Journal Star
