The Nebraska Cornhuskers are busy reshaping their roster after so many players decided to transfer. Meanwhile three of the guys that have transferred out all found homes on Thursday.
Eli Rice, Matar Diop and Jamarques Lawrence are all with new schools now. Of the three, perhaps the most frustrating is Rice, who is headed to Penn State.
Meanwhile, Diop is on his way to Loyola Marymount and Lawrence is going to be a Rhode Island Ram. It certainly seems as though Diop and Lawrence have a very good chance to be starters at their new school. Rice is more interesting. Of course, Penn State was bad last year so it sure seems like they might be looking for some new blood to start for the Nittany Lions.

If the Nebraska Football team is going to be better in 2024, it's going to need its wide receivers to make some big strides. Jaylen Lloyd started to come on at the end of the 2024 season but he needs to be even better this season. Rivals' Tim Verghese recently talked to Lloyd about the receiver's comfort level heading into his sophomore season.

Is Stanton's Ren Brown this year's Carter Nelson? The 8-man star doesn't have the same kind of profile and interest as Nelson but he's starting to get more attention. Earlier this week, he received his first offer from a former Power 5 team. Oregon State made an officlal offer. Gotta wonder if the Nebraska Cornhuskers might follow suit.
