Defensive back Syncere Safeeullah enters transfer portal

Syncere Safeeullah made the announcement on Sunday.

Nebraska corner Syncere Safeeullah announced he was entering the transfer portal. He made the announcement on X on Sunday afternoon.

He was one of the first recruits and commitments of the Matt Rhule era, committing to the program on December 12, 2022. He did not play last season, electing to redshirt.

At the time of his recruitment, Safeeullah was a three-star prospect. According to the 247Sports Rankings, he was the 143rd-ranked cornerback in the 2023 class and the 244th-ranked player in the state of Florida.

According to his biography on the Nebraska Athletics website, he came to Lincoln from IMG Academy and was ranked the top defensive back in Tennessee by Prep RedZone.

Safeeullah was thought to be able to add corner depth when he committed to the Huskers. Now, it appears he is going in a different direction.
