Nebraska running back Gabe Ervin Jr. will be finishing out his collegiate career elsewhere. On Monday, it was reported by Max Olson of ESPN that Ervin will be entering the transfer portal after four seasons with the Cornhuskers.
Originally a member of the 2021 recruiting class out of Buford High School in Georgia, Ervin chose the Huskers over offers from Arizona State, Arkansas, Boston College, and Charlotte.
In his time in Lincoln, Ervin ran for 455 yards and five touchdowns on 109 career attempts. In 2024, the Georgia native saw a career-low 14 carries, totaling 41 yards and two touchdowns.
Ervin was one of four backs in the rotation early in the season but fell out of favor for Emmett Johnson and Dante Dowdell. His status in the backfield didn’t change even with the switch from Marcus Satterfield to Dana Holgorsen as Offensive Coordinator.
