Nebraska’s coaching staff has been aggressive in the transfer portal. The Huskers have already been connected with five quarterbacks in the portal. You can imagine name, image and likeness money will play a significant role in who will eventually commit to the Cornhuskers. Matt Rhule explained the importance of the program.
“Make no mistake: a good quarterback in the portal costs $1 million to $1.5 million to $2 million right now. So, just so we’re on the same page, right? Let’s make sure we all understand what’s happening. There are some teams that have six or seven $1 million players playing for them.”
Rhule described the types of quarterback he would look for should the Huskers choose that route.
“The portal for me, I either want to get someone with multiple years, no matter the position, that’s on caliber with the guys we have. Or someone who is an instant impact upgrade. Someone who can make a difference.”
