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.

Fitter and Faster Swim Camps is the proud sponsor of SwimSwam’s College Recruiting Channel and all commitment news. For many, swimming in college is a lifelong dream that is pursued with dedication and determination. Fitter and Faster is proud to honor these athletes and those who supported them on their journey.
Omaha, Nebraska native Matt Brailita is headed to Baltimore in the fall. He announced his commitment to Johns Hopkins University earlier this spring, writing on social media:
“I am very excited to announce my commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at Johns Hopkins University ! I’m extremely grateful for everything my family, friends, and teammates have done to support me every step of the way. A special thanks to Coach Tom and Coach Andy for always pushing me beyond what I believed in. Also a huge thanks to Coach Scott and Coach Chris for giving me this opportunity of a lifetime. GO BLUE JAYS!”
Brailita swam for Omaha’s Millard North High School under coach Andy Cunningham. He wrapped up his senior season with a pair of runner-up finishes at the 2026 NSAA Championships, earning lifetime-best times in both the 200 IM (1:50.84) and 100 breast (56.01). He also notched a PB in the 50 free (20.76) while leading off Millard North’s 200 free relay in prelims. He anchored the same relay in finals, splitting 20.01. Brailita leaves Millard North High School as a 10-time State medalist and a multiple-event team record-holder. He was 2026 Metro Conference champion in the 100 fly and as a member of 2 relays, and he was nominated for Metro Omaha World Herald Swimming Athlete Scholar.
Brailita swims year-round with Greater Omaha Aquatic Leopardsharks under coach Tom Beck. In addition to IM and breast, he excels in fly and free. In March, he competed at Columbia Sectionals, where he finaled in the 50 free (15th), 100 breast (11th), 50 fly (8th), 100 fly (10th), and swam prelims in the 50 breast (8th) and 200 IM (10th). He left the meet with new PBs in the 100 free (46.30), 50 breast (26.25), 50 fly (22.51), and 100 fly (49.86).
Last summer, Brailita hit LCM lifetime bests in the 50 breast (30.81), 100 breast (1:06.84), 200 breast (2:29.93), and 200 IM (2:11.12) at Madison Futures, making finals in the IM. He opened the 2026 long-course season with a pair of PBs (24.83 in the 50 free and 27.09 in the 50 fly) at the GOAL Sprint Cup in April.
Brailita will join the Blue Jays’ class of 2030 with Alistair Guth, Finn Nelson, Lukas Funderburk, Matthew Ko, Nicolas Aldana Huelga, Samuel Zhang, and William Thurk. His best times would have scored in the ‘A’ finals of the 200 IM, 100/200 breast, and 50/200 free, and the ‘B’ finals of the 100 free and 100 fly at the 2026 Centennial Conference Championships.
