The Nebraska softball team added a transfer player to its roster over the weekend. Catcher Peyton Cody will join the Husker squad after transferring from St. John’s.

Cody played five seasons at St. John’s but received a sixth season from the NCAA due to COVID and a medical redshirt.

Last season she hit .316 with eight home runs and 27 RBI. Head coach Rhonda Revelle says the transfer player is a perfect fit for the Nebraska roster.

“Peyton is a perfect fit for the Red Team,” Nebraska Head Coach Rhonda Revelle said. “She is a great competitor with a big bat. Peyton is a catcher by trade but has the versatility to play multiple positions. She has a love and passion for the game, and we are anxious to have her join our team.”

Cody started her career at Mission Viejo High School. She will have one year of eligibility remaining.

Washington will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.

Nebraska hosting former Texas wide receiver this weekend

Nebraska could add another top prospect to the wide receiver room via the transfer portal.

This weekend, the Nebraska Cornhuskers continue to remain active on the transfer portal by hosting a former Texas wide receiver. Marcus Washington is visiting Lincoln this weekend. The St. Louis, Missouri native, would be the second former Longhorn (quarterback Casey Thompson) and third wide receiver (Trey Palmer, Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda) to join Nebraska via the portal should he decide to commit to the Huskers. In 2021, Washington had 18 receptions, 277 yards, and two touchdowns in only five games.

This is the second time that Nebraska has actively recruited the wideout. Washington was pursued by the Huskers coming out of high school. He would have two seasons of eligibility should he join his former Texas teammate. Fellow Big Ten team Purdue and Utah are both actively recruiting the former 4-star prospect.

A major recruiting service thinks highly of Nebraska’s transfer portal additions heading into the 2022 season. 247Sports has updated its transfer portal rankings, and the Cornhuskers have cracked the top ten.
