One of the goals Nebraska had as it entered the offseason was adding a veteran presence to a receiver room filled with talented — yet young and, for the most part, inexperienced — wideouts, like Malachi Coleman, Jaylen Lloyd, Jaidyn Doss, Demitrius Bell and four true freshmen.
The Huskers took to the transfer portal to meet that goal and landed on Isaiah Neyor on Friday night.
Neyor is a 6-foot-3, 215-pounder who spent the past two seasons at Texas and the prior three at Wyoming, where he was an All-Mountain West Conference selection in 2021. Pending a medical hardship waiver from the NCAA, Neyor will have two seasons of eligibility left.
One of the bigger names for portal receivers when he entered after the 2021 season, Neyor was once committed to Tennessee before ultimately flipping to Texas. Injury kept Neyor’s career with the Longhorns from getting off to a smooth start.
In his first fall camp with Texas in 2022, Neyor sustained a season-ending ACL injury. He returned for 2023, but played in just one game, the season-opener against Rice in which he caught one pass for 14 yards.
Neyor was a two-star recruit in the 2019 class out of Lamar High School in Arlington, Texas. He signed with Wyoming over Stephen F. Austin.
After redshirting his first year with the Cowboys, Neyor played in five games and caught seven passes for 233 yards in 2020. The 2021 campaign was his breakout moment, with Neyor catching 44 passes for 878 yards and 12 touchdowns.
The Husker program has had recent success with one-and-done transfer wideouts, most notably Samori Touré in 2021, Trey Palmer in 2022 and Billy Kemp in 2023, though Touré and Palmer enjoyed stronger seasons than Kemp, who was off-and-on injured and didn’t have the quarterback play Touré and Palmer enjoyed.
Neyor becomes the Huskers’ second incoming transfer of the offseason. He joins cornerback Blye Hill, from St. Francis (PA), an FCS program.
The Huskers are also hosting a second transfer receiver this weekend in former Wake Forest Demon Deacon Jahmal Banks.
Nebraska’s current receiver room returns veteran Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda, who’s coming off an ACL injury, as well as walk-on-turned-scholarship wideout Alex Bullock, and a host of second- and first-year players, led by Coleman, Lloyd and Doss. Marcus Washington, who attempted to get a waiver from the NCAA to play another year, declared for the NFL Draft.
The Huskers are also bringing in talented pass catchers at the tight end position, including hybrids Carter Nelson and Keelan Smith.
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – President Donald Trump’s executive order to reclassify marijuana at the federal level is reigniting debate in Nebraska, where voters approved medical marijuana in 2024.
Trump signed the executive order on Thursday, directing federal agencies to reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I drug to Schedule III. The move does not legalize marijuana nationwide but opens the door for more medical research.
Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers joined attorneys general from seven other states in releasing a statement saying they are “concerned” with the order. Hilgers said the science shows marijuana should remain a Schedule I drug.
Sen. Pete Ricketts also opposes the move. He signed a letter with 14 other Republican senators urging Trump not to reschedule marijuana. The letter argues marijuana is linked to mental health issues, impaired driving and workplace accidents.
Local medical marijuana advocate Lia Post disagreed with state leaders’ opposition.
“It just comes to the point, when is enough enough?” Post said.
Post said the argument from state leaders ignores what Nebraska voters decided in November 2024 when they overwhelmingly approved medical marijuana.
“It does open up the door for research, which really makes me happy, and the ability to speak to my doctor. It’s hard to be excited when you know you’re just a part of the big, giant grift that is going on,” Post said.
The federal change would allow the FDA to study marijuana’s medical uses. That could potentially help veterans, seniors, and people with chronic pain. Advocates said it also removes excuses for state leaders to delay implementation.
“I feel like we are in the exact same place we always are with the people wanting medical cannabis, the current law supporting medical cannabis, but the elected officials stopping medical cannabis,” Post said.
The federal rescheduling process could take several more months to finalize. The executive order does not legalize recreational marijuana. Trump made that clear Thursday, saying he is not open to that.
“It is a big deal, it is change, and change is always a big deal. Anything to do with medical cannabis and politics, I have to find the joy in whatever small wins there are, because there are so few,” Post said.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Nebraska football is bolstering its staff with the addition of a run game coordinator and a defensive edge coach.
On Friday, head coach Matt Rhule announced the hiring of run game coordinator Lonnie Teasley and defensive edge coach Roy Manning.
Teasley spent the last five seasons with South Carolina, serving as the Gamecocks’ offensive line coach for the last three years.
He was also an assistant offensive line coach on Rhule’s Temple staff in 2014. Teasley also had stints with the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Tech.
“Lonnie Teasley brings a wealth of offensive line coaching experience to our staff,” Rhule said in a press release. “Lonnie has had great success throughout his career and specifically has been one of the elite offensive tackle coaches in the country. He also has a proven track record as an excellent recruiter. Lonnie will make a positive impact on our coaching staff and the Nebraska Football program.”
Manning worked with new defensive coordinator Rob Aurich as a defensive edge coach at San Diego State in 2025. He helped the Aztecs rank among the nation’s top defenses.
Manning has also spent time coaching at USC, Michigan and Cincinnati.
“We are excited to add Roy Manning to our defensive staff,” Rhule said. “Along with Coach Aurich, he was a key part of the defensive transformation at San Diego State this past season. Roy has experience coaching defense from front to back and has coached at high-level programs throughout his career.”
Nebraska fired three assistant coaches following a lopsided loss to Iowa in November: defensive coordinator John Butler, offensive line coach Donovan Raiola and defensive line coach Terry Bradden.
Aurich has been hired to lead the defense and Geep Wade is Nebraska’s new offensive line coach.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – With 2025 NCAA Volleyball Championships in Kansas City this season, many Nebraska fans made plans ahead time given the driving distance to Lincoln. The Huskers lost in the regional final at home yet many fans still attended the final four.
“We just want to watch high-quality volleyball, grow the sport, and it’s a competitive sport, and there’s still four very good teams here,” Elizabeth Wright, a life-long Nebraska Volleyball fan, said.
Hundreds of Husker faithful dawned their red Nebraska gear as they entered the T Mobile Center on Thursday night with their team not playing. When asked about which team Nebraska fans would support, the majority of interviewees said Texas A&M.
“Part of me wants to watch Texas A&M win just because they beat us, and if they win, it gives us a little validation that we lost to the best team,” Karla Huneke, a Grand Island native and Nebraska Volleyball fan, said.
Overall, the surprise of Nebraska not making the NCAA Volleyball Championship didn’t impact Nebraskans from attending the final four.
