Did Nebraska get any of the top transfers in college football for 2022?
Last month, USA Today put out a list of top college football transfers for the upcoming 2022 season. Nebraska was active in the portal and brought in over a dozen players but did the Cornhuskers bring in anyone who can crack this list? With the season less than 100 days away, we’ll soon see with our own eyes which the best of the transfers were and weren’t. Transfers for the last several weeks won’t appear on the list, so you know why if you don’t see names like Biletnikoff Award winner Jordan Addison.
Enjoy the chaos, college football fans. With all the coaches making noise about the portal this offseason, I imagine we will see some changes. I would not be shocked to see the transfer portal have a dedicated window of dates where players can transfer without penalty but any transfers outside that window, and you’ll have to sit out a season, but that’s just my conjecture.
