Isaiah Neyor has officially accepted an invite to the East-West Shrine Bowl.

Nebraska football wide receiver Isaiah Neyor accepted his invitation to play in the East-West Shrine Bowl, set for January 30, 2025.

Neyor has been a veteran wide receiver on an offense that has been explosive at times this year. He has tallied 28 catches for 426 yards and five touchdowns. His best game of the season came against Illinois back in September. He had four catches for 90 yards in that game, as well as two touchdowns. He averaged 22.5 yards per catch in the process.

The wide receiver came over from the Texas Longhorns in January. He has been a needed veteran on a young team.

Now, he’ll have a chance to showcase his skill set nationally as Nebraska looks to wrap up the 2024 regular season on Friday.

Four Huskers receive East-West Shrine Bowl invites

Four Nebraska football players were selected to the East-West Shrine Bowl.

Four members of the Nebraska football program were invited to the East-West Shrine Bowl on Wednesday evening.

Defensive linemen Ty Robinson and Nash Hutmacher as well as wide receiver Isaiah Neyor, and defensive back Tommi Hill were invited to the game.

Robinson and Hutmacher have been key pieces for the defensive line this year. Robinson has recorded 23 tackles and five sacks on the season. Hutmacher has been able to produce as well. He has tallied 18 tackles and two sacks on the year.

Hill has emerged as a key piece of the secondary despite battling plantar fasciitis throughout the entire year. He has 19 tackles on the year and recorded a pick-six against the Colorado Buffaloes back in September.

Neyor has proven to be a veteran playmaker in a young Huskers offense. The Texas Longhorns transfer has 25 catches for 48 yards and five touchdowns. He is coming off a stellar game against the UCLA Bruins that saw him record four catches for 89 yards and a touchdown.

The Huskers have undoubtedly had strong play from seniors this year. Their legacy could continue to grow this season alone, especially if the Huskers make the elusive bowl game.

WATCH: Dylan Raiola throws first TD pass of career

Wide receiver Isaiah Neyor was able to score the first touchdown of his Nebraska career.

The Nebraska football offense struggled to get rolling in the second quarter, but it came alive when quarterback Dylan Raiola connected with wide receiver Isaiah Neyor for a touchdown. The touchdown came off a perfectly placed ball, and Neyor took it 59 yards for the score.

The catch was the wide receiver’s fourth of the day, extending Nebraska’s lead to 16-7. It was also the first touchdown of Raiola’s career.  The ball was placed where only the wide receiver could grab it, and Neyor showed his ability to run after the catch.

Neyor had a big impact on the first half at the time of the touchdown, as he had four receptions on the afternoon.

The drive took two plays, 59 yards, and only lasted 18 seconds.

The touchdown electrified the offense and could get the unit back on track. One has to wonder how many more deep throws we will see as the playmakers look to get going.

Wide receiver Isaiah Neyor named to Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List

Senior wide receiver Isaiah Neyor was selected to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List Wednesday.

Another Nebraska football player enters the 2024 season on the awards watch list. Senior wide receiver Isaiah Neyor was selected to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List Wednesday.

Named after Hall of Fame running back Earl Campbell, the award recognizes the top offensive player in Division I football who also exhibits the enduring characteristics that define Earl Campbell: integrity, performance, teamwork, sportsmanship, drive, community, and tenacity.

In addition, the nominee must have been born in Texas, graduated from a Texas High School, played at a Texas-based junior college, or currently plays at a Texas D1 four-year college.

Neyor is a Fort Worth, Texas native and transferred to Nebraska following two years with Texas. The 6-foot-4, 220-pound wide receiver joined the Longhorns following his 2021 season at Wyoming.

In 2021, Neyor finished second-team All-Mountain West, hauling 44 passes for 878 yards and 12 touchdowns. He led the Mountain West in both touchdown catches and yards per catch, averaging just under 20 yards. He also played in all six games for Wyoming in 2020, finishing with eight catches for 248 yards.

Neyor battled injuries and played in just one game at Texas. He played in Texas’ season opener against Rice in 2023 and had one catch for 14 yards.

The award’s semifinalist will be announced on Nov. 21. The finalist will be announced on Dec. 17. The winner will then be announced on Jan. 22.

Nebraska Football Countdown to Kickoff: No. 18 Isaiah Neyor

The countdown until August 31 is down to 18 days.

The countdown until the start of Nebraska’s 2024 season on August 31 against the UTEP Miners is just 18 days, which brings Texas wide receiver transfer Isaiah Neyor into today’s player spotlight.

The 6-foot-4, 220-pound senior from Fort Worth, Texas, is entering his first season with the program after previously spending time with Wyoming and Texas. He was an All-Conference honoree at Wyoming before having a pair of disappointing seasons in Austin, recording one reception for 14 yards. In 2022, Neyor suffered a season-ending injury in fall camp and did not play, and in 2023, he played in only the Longhorns’ season opener against Rice.

This fall, Neyor is expected to be the Gophers’ starting wide receiver and one of the program’s top targets for freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola.

Every player transfering to Nebraska for 2024

Since becoming Nebraska’s head football coach, Matt Rhule has not been afraid to use the transfer portal.

Since becoming Nebraska’s head football coach, Matt Rhule has not been afraid to use the transfer portal. 2024 has already seen six players commit to the Cornhuskers.

The Huskers currently rank 20th in On3’s 2024 College Football Team Transfer Portal Rankings. Nebraska has also seen ten players depart the program since the portal opened at the end of the regular season.

Four of the six incoming players come from the offensive side of the ball, with three of those players coming from skill positions. Coach Rhule has previously discussed the types of players he looks for in the transfer portal.

“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.”

You can find a complete list of all six commits below.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have landed one of the top wide receivers in the transfer portal. Isaiah Neyor spent the last two years with the Texas Longhorns.

Neyor has entered the transfer portal for the second time in his career. He spent his first two seasons at Wyoming, where he caught 52 passes for 1,126 yards and 12 touchdowns in 19 games.

The receiver was seen in Lincoln on January 4 when he took in the Nebraska-Indiana basketball game alongside offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield.

His best season came in 2021 when he made 44 catches for 878 yards and 12 touchdowns. The wideout would transfer to Texas following the season.

Neyor would miss the 2022 season after tearing his ACL in the preseason. In 2023, he would only appear in one game, making one reception for 14 yards.

Texas wide receiver Isaiah Neyor commits to Nebraska

The Huskers received another big addition to their team in the offseason, this time coming from the transfer portal.

The Huskers received another significant addition to their team in the offseason, this time coming from the transfer portal. Texas wide receiver Isaiah Neyor announced on Twitter late Friday night that he is committed to Nebraska after spending two seasons with the Longhorns.

The 6-foot-3 wide receiver transfers from Texas with two years of eligibility left and is coming to Lincoln with a solid resume. However, his time with the Longhorns resulted in minimal action for the Fort Worth, Texas, getting just one catch for 14 yards.

But before Texas, Neyor made a name for himself at Wyoming. In three seasons with the Cowboys, Neyor hauled in 52 catches for 1,126 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Neyor came out of high school as a two-star wide receiver and will be the second Texas wide receiver to transfer to Nebraska in the past three years, joining former Husker Marcus Washington.

Neyor is also just the second player to commit to Nebraska from the transfer portal this offseason, the first being cornerback Blye Hill from Saint Francis University.

Texas WR Isaiah Neyor expected to enter transfer portal

Isaiah Neyor appears to be headed elsewhere.

Texas could be set to suffer its biggest portal loss for the 2024 cycle. Wide receiver Isaiah Neyor is expected to enter the transfer portal.

Among those who have been reported likely to leave Texas, we had the highest hopes for Neyor in burnt orange. The talented and proven receiver caught 44 passes for 878 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2021 before transferring from Wyoming to Texas.

Injuries derailed what was primed to be a national breakout for the talented pass catcher in 2022. Many of the offensive improvements Texas has made this season with Georgia transfer Adonai Mitchell we expected to occur last season with Neyor. Perhaps it just wasn’t meant to happen in Austin.

The ceiling and playmaking ability are still there for the journeyman receiver. We were still open to the possibility that Neyor could be the lead pass catcher in 2024, but talented freshman Johntay Cook looks more likely to take that mantle of current Texas players who could return.

We will monitor where Neyor goes should he transfer from Texas.
