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.

Social media reacts to transfer portal receiver committing to Nebraska

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have landed one of the top wide receivers in the transfer portal.

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.

Paul Wadlington, Randy Boone discuss Texas WR Isaiah Neyor’s impact

Imagine being able to alternate between receivers like AD Mitchell and Isaiah Neyor. Texas doesn’t have to imagine it.

Texas wide receiver Isaiah Neyor is back, and he’s attacking 2023 with a vengeance. The talented wideout once viewed as the piece to put last year’s offense over the top appears to be working his way back to form.

Paul Wadlington and former Texas Longhorns pitcher Randy Boone discussed what Neyor brings to the current squad. Boone led off the conversation.

“I think (Isaiah Neyor) changes the offense more than most people think.”

Neyor does change the offense. The most valuable way probably involves providing quarterback Quinn Ewers a downfield threat with consistent hands and good tracking ability. Put simply, the former Wyoming transfer who once averaged 20 yards per reception and caught 15 touchdown passes is going to put the Longhorns in the end zone.

Paul Wadlington went on to discuss Texas’ loaded receiver room.

“If you can roll Neyor, (AD) Mitchell, (Jordan) Whittington, (Xavier) Worthy in basically a constant rotation. You know, throw Johntay Cook in there, DeAndre Moore. And you just keep wearing on people … it’s exciting to think about the weapons.”

The team has an embarrassment of riches at receiver. Having two players like AD Mitchell and Isaiah Neyor with similar frame and skillset makes Texas exciting to watch in 2023. It should translate to better offensive play on the field.

Texas Football: Players with new jersey numbers ahead of 2023

Several players will be sporting new numbers this season.

The time has come where we finally know what jersey number each player on the Texas roster will be rocking in 2023. Continue reading “Texas Football: Players with new jersey numbers ahead of 2023”

Looking at how wild cards could raise Texas’ ceiling in 2023

Texas is going to be good. Wild card players will determine if it is great.

Texas returns its fair share of certainty heading into the 2023 season. Though the team seemingly always has talent, this year’s squad has developed talent. Several preseason predictions seem to confirm that notion.

The Longhorns have a high floor. We know the team is going to get reliable play at receiver, tight end, both tackles, linebacker, cornerback and safety. It’s elsewhere that will determine whether Texas is a conference title contender or simply a good team.

Earlier this offseason we singled out Quinn Ewers as the determining factor for the team’s success. If Ewers plays up to the pedigree that placed him in the same tier as five-star quarterbacks Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields, Texas is going to win a Big 12 championship and make the playoff. That outcome should not be expected.

Several players can take pressure away from Ewers. Topping that list are dynamic wide receivers AD Mitchell and Isaiah Neyor. Both Neyor and Mitchell have been slowed by injury despite performing at elite levels when healthy. On the defensive side, All-SEC transfer Jalen Catalon should cover whatever field fellow safety Jerrin Thompson isn’t occupying.

Freshman receiver Johntay Cook. linebacker Anthony Hill and running back Cedric Baxter Jr. are among underclassmen who can make impact contributions. If they do, Texas can push toward heights the program hasn’t seen in a long while.

The Longhorns are likely going to be good this season. Wild cards will determine just how good they play.

Looking at Texas WR depth following the loss of Brenen Thompson

These six players weren’t going to be supplanted by Brenen Thompson on the depth chart.

Former Texas wide receiver Brenen Thompson is set to leave Austin, Texas. It appears he plans to transfer to The University of Oklahoma.

Thompson is an excellent athlete and has the ability to make a significant impact at his next stop. Nevertheless, there wasn’t a path onto the two-deep for the player this season due to transfer additions and one of the program’s best ever wide receiver recruiting classes.

We predicted in February that Thompson could fall in the depth chart after running track instead of participating in spring football. That wasn’t a knock against the talented player, but a reflection on how much the receiver room improves with transfer receivers AD Mitchell and Isaiah Neyor.

There wasn’t anything wrong with his decision to run track. Even so, it was head coach Steve Sarkisian’s prerogative to elevate players like Johntay Cook and Casey Cain for working with the team year round. Cook and Cain won that tie breaker and are more polished route runners presently.

Thompson wasn’t going to play many snaps at Texas this season. Here’s a look at the all but solidified two-deep of Longhorns receivers.

Texas Football: 12 takeaways from the Orange-White spring game

The offense put on a show unlike we’re used to seeing in the spring game.

The Texas Longhorns put their 2023 squad on display in Saturday’s Orange and White game. While we don’t want to make too much of the meaningless scrimmage, it looks like a handful of offensive players could be special.

The Texas offense went off in Saturday’s game. The most noticeable contribution came from the trio of Xavier Worthy, Jordan Whittington and AD Mitchell. Heading into the scrimmage, it seemed apparent that the wide receiver room was the strength of the team. That’s a testament to the work head coach Steve Sarkisian has done in receiver recruiting.

When Sarkisian took over at Texas, the cupboard was bare at receiver and offensive linemen. Those positions have vastly transformed as we saw firsthand in Saturday’s exhibition.

Texas’ top two quarterbacks made a number of plays as the offense looked better than usual in spring games. Quinn Ewers looked to have improved at the quarterback position, while Maalik Murphy proved able to step in and win games at the quarterback position.

Let’s look at our takeaways from the spring game.
