Nebraska hoops lands transfer commitment from Braxton Meah

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have added to their 2024-25 roster in the form of Washington center Braxton Meah.

Fred Hoiberg continues to put together the Nebraska Cornhuskers‘ roster for the 2024-25 season, and the latest addition is a 7-foot-1 transfer center.

The Layton, Utah native transfers to Nebraska after spending the last two seasons with the Huskies, where he earned Pac-12 All-Defensive team honors in 2022-23.

Meah averaged 7.0 points and 6.2 rebounds in two seasons with Washington across 63 games and 47 starts while averaging 22.0 minutes per contest. In his career, he shot 72.6% from the field and above 70.0% in his last three seasons. He is also a 55.5% shooter from the free throw line.

Prior to his time with Washington, Meah spent two years with Fresno State after signing with the Bulldogs as part of their 2020 recruiting class.

Meah is the fifth transfer portal commitment for the Huskers this offseason and the second true big man, joining North Dakota State forward transfer Andrew Morgan. At the time of his commitment, Meah will be the only center on the Huskers’ roster for next season.

Eight winners from the college football transfer portal thus far

These teams hit home runs in the transfer portal this offseason.

The transfer portal has become one of the best tools college football coaches can use for immediate roster upgrades.

This offseason has already seen an abundance of talented players at every position decide to take their talents to new programs.

We have seen multiple examples of transfers who put their teams over the hump in recent memory, especially at quarterback.

Joe Burrow, Kyler Murray and Baker Mayfield became Heisman trophy winners after transferring. Justin Fields and Jalen Hurts brought Ohio State ad Oklahoma to the college football playoff in just one season.

This year we saw multiple elite quarterback talents decide to transfer. Perhaps Caleb Williams or Quinn Ewers will continue the success of transfer quarterbacks.

How well teams navigate the transfer portal right now will have a major impact on the outlook of the 2022 season and beyond.

Here are the eight teams who benefited the most from the transfer portal this offseason so far:
