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.

Micah Mazzccua - Offensive Tackle (Florida)

Mazzccua spent one year at Florida, starting in 11 games. Through his lone season with the Gators, the six-foot-five, 325-pound lineman played 730 snaps on offense and gave up just three sacks at right guard.

Before Florida, Mazzccua spent three seasons at Baylor. After being redshirted his freshman year, Mazzccua played 20 games for the Bears and earned 11 starts.
