Nebraska forward Blaise Keita enters transfer portal

A third Cornhusker has entered the transfer portal since the end of the Huskers season last Friday.

Nebraska Cornhuskers forward Blaise Keita has entered the transfer portal after two years with the program. The 6-foot-11 junior originally out of the Republic of Mali entered the portal on Tuesday.

Keita’s decision comes after he did not appear in a game in the 2023-24 season due to an ankle injury that plagued him since the end of the 2022-23 season.

In the 2022-23 season, Keita played in 21 games, making five starts. He averaged 2.0 points and 3.5 rebounds per contest and 10.1 minutes per game.

Prior to his time at Nebraska, Keita was a junior college standout at Coffeyville Community College and, according to Rivals, a four-star JUCO prospect.

Keita is the fourth Husker to enter the portal in the last two days, joining guards Eli Rice, Ramel Lloyd Jr., and C.J. Wilcher
