Essegian seems to have found solid footing since entering the transfer portal after Wisconsin’s 2023-24 season came to a close. The season was a struggle for the sophomore, with his numbers dropping to just 7.3 minutes and 3.2 points per game.
But schools see the potential from his freshman campaign which included per-game averages of 27.4 minutes and 11.7 points.
The former Badger is considering a Nebraska program that made its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2014 this past season. Head coach Fred Hoiberg has the Cornhuskers headed in the right direction, and is now looking to take the next step into contention.
As it looks to reload its offensive firepower, #Nebrasketball hosted Wisconsin sharpshooter transfer Connor Essegian for a visit on Thursday.
