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.

Nebraska coach Matt Rhule has not been afraid to use the transfer portal since becoming head coach. This year alone has seen six players commit to the Huskers.

Four of the six incoming players come from the offensive side of the ball. 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.”

The Huskers currently rank 21st in On3’s 2024 College Football Team Transfer Portal Rankings. Nebraska has also seen six players depart the program since the portal opened, including quarterbacks Jeff Sims and Chubba Purdy.

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

Former Husker Cubba Purdy flips portal commitment to Nevada

Former Nebraska quarterback Chubba Purdy will now continue his college career at Nevada.

Former Nebraska Cornhusker Chubba Purdy will not be headed to San Jose State after all. On Monday, it was announced that the former Florida State and Nebraska quarterback will continue his collegiate career at Nevada instead.

The move comes after the University of Arizona hired San Jose State head coach Brent Brennan to replace Jedd Fisch who left Tuscon to take over the Washington Huskies football program. Rather quickly, San Jose State tabbed former Navy head coach Ken Niumatalolo to lead the Spartans in the future.

During his career at Nebraska, Purdy threw for 529 yards while rushing for an additional 253 yards. He had five total career touchdowns with the Huskers as well.

Purdy is joining a Nevada program coming off its second straight 2-10 season. The university fired head coach Ken Wilson this offseason and tabbed Jeff Choate to take over.
