Former Nebraska tight end Jake Appleget announced he will transfer to Northern Illinois for the 2024 season.
The three-star prospect committed to the Cornhuskers’ class of 2022 as a linebacker. He moved to tight end after Matt Rhule took over as head coach. He announced his departure on social media earlier this month.
“Thank you to the coaches, strength staff, and my teammates here at Nebraska for everything over these past two years. After talks with my family and coaches, I have decided that it is in my best interest to enter the transfer portal.”
Appleget appeared in six games in 2023 on special teams. He will have three years of eligibility remaining following his transfer.
