PORTAL TRACKER

The Cowboys are adding another receiving threat with power conference experience.

Jaylen Lloyd, a 5-foot-10, 180-pound Nebraska transfer, announced his commitment to Oklahoma State on Monday. Lloyd was a true sophomore for the Cornhuskers this past season. In his two seasons at Nebraska, he caught 19 passes for 492 yards and three touchdowns.

Lloyd joined Nebraska as a three-star prospect from the 2023 recruiting class. He was a star on the gridiron and the track at Omaha Westside High School. In a high school senior season cut short with injury, Lloyd caught 44 passes for 784 yards and five touchdowns. He was also a six-time Nebraska state champion in track and field, becoming Nebraska’s all-class champion in the long jump and triple jump as a senior while finishing second in the 100 meters and third in the 4×100-meter relay. As a high school junior, he won Class A state titles in the 100 meters, long jump and triple jump and won the long jump as a sophomore.

He won the 2022 National Junior Olympic Championships long jump crown while finishing third in the 100 meters, also winning the national long jump title at the 2022 Nike Outdoor Nationals.

Lloyd played in 10 games with the ‘Huskers as a true freshman in 2023, catching six passes for 237 yards and three touchdowns. He started to come on late that season, scoring his first career touchdown on a 73-yard play against Purdue in late October before catching a 58-yard touchdown against Wisconsin and a 66-yard touchdown against Iowa in consecutive weekends to close out the season.

He played in all 13 of Nebraska’s games this past season, catching 13 passes for 255 yards.

Lloyd becomes the third wide receiver the Cowboys have added from the portal and second over the past couple of days. All three wide receiver portal pledges have come from the power conference level, as Lloyd joins Shamar Rigby (Purdue) and Sam Jackson V (Auburn).
