Nebraska had a so-so season with some high points and lowlights which will need to be addressed in the off-season.
Matt Rhule has retooled his staff with some really powerful additions. It is now time to shore up the position groups of need, of which there are plenty. What makes this task even tougher is the loss of players who may be depth pieces or developing players who also need replacing.
The major gaps in the roster are wide receiver, offensive line, and linebacker with the loss of seniors plus some portal attrition leaving the cupboard bare.
Nebraska will have its work cut out for offensive line players as they are prized possessions in the portal and command large NIL packages. The good news is that the war chest held by the 1890 collection is brimming and ready to be deployed.
This portal season is very much alive and the helter-skelter nature of the transferring means things are changing daily. We will update you with all the latest additions and subtractions:
