Nebraska transfer portal departure coveted by Big Ten Teams
Nebraska transfer portal departure coveted by Big Ten Teams
The Wisconsin Badgers offered Nebraska transfer offensive lineman Grant Seagren on Thursday. This was reported by multiple media outlets.
Seagren joined Nebraska as a walk-on in 2023 after playing tight end and defensive line at the high school level. He redshirted his first year but played more in 2024. All told, he appeared in seven games, playing both the left and right tackle positions.
Since entering the transfer portal, Seagren has received a lot of interest. He has received offers from Rutgers, Kentucky, and Washington State, in addition to Wisconsin. Wisconsin could be a fit for him, as they lost left tackle Kevin Haywood to an ACL injury during spring practice.
It is certainly interesting that Seagren has been coveted by several teams ever since he departed from the Huskers. He measures six feet six inches and weighs 305 pounds, and he could be an asset to any team. His ability to play on both sides of the football could afford him unique opportunities.

Nebraska getting visit from four-star athlete this weekend
Nebraska getting visit from four-star athlete this weekend Class of 2026 four-star athlete Jacob Eberhardt will visit Nebraska this weekend. This was reported by Tim Verghese on Tuesday. Eberhardt is the 216th overall player in the 2026 class, the fourth overall player in the state of Missouri, and the seventh overall player at his position per rankings. He measures in at six-foot-three, 210 pounds. Alabama, Oklahoma, and Missouri are also vying for Eberhardt's services. He has taken one previous visit to Lincoln, doing so on November 2. Currently, the 2026 Nebraska football recruiting class ranks 64th overall with five commitments per Rivals rankings. Eberhardt would be the second blue-chip commitment in the class, and give Nebraska football another talented athlete in the fold. This recruitment has a chance to lean heavily towards Nebraska, and another visit to Lincoln is certainly a step in the right direction for the program. This coaching staff has done well with versatile athletes, and Eberhart could give them another impact player.

Ex-Liverpool Ace Alexander-Arnold Shocks At Real Madrid Presentation
Ex-Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold shocked the soccer world with his fluency in Spanish when being presented as a new Real Madrid signing on Thursday afternoon. Madrid paid around $11 million (€10 million) to get the England right back out of his Liverpool contract early. Alexander-Arnold's terms at Anfield were set to expire on June 30, but paying the fee means that he has already joined Xabi Alonso's squad which will contest the newly-reimagined Club World Cup that kicks off in the United States on Saturday with a meeting between Al-Ahly and Lionel Messi's Inter Miami. With former Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen unveiled on Tuesday, it was now Alexander-Arnold's turn to be shown off to the world as Perez's latest signing. Taking to the podium, the 26-year-old surprised with his fluency in Spanish and had clearly been taking classes to learn the language ahead of completing his widely-expected transfer. 'Good afternoon everyone. Thank you to both the president and the club for this opportunity. Signing for Real Madrid doesn't happen every day, it's a dream come true,' Alexander-Arnold first said. "I am very happy and proud. I really want to show my game to the Madridistas, I am aware that playing for Real Madrid is a great responsibility, but I am ready to give it my all. I really want to win many titles, be a champion and grow with the best in the world. Thank you and... Hala Madrid!," he added. Perez said that Madridistas were 'once again living an important day' with a 'player who has won everything' arriving at their club. He called Alexander-Arnold 'one of the best full-backs in the world who has marked an era at Liverpool', and who at 26, 'has become a legend there and now wants to continue writing his story' in the Spanish capital. 'He wants to feel the excitement of wearing our shirt. Welcome. First of all, our gratitude: we know what it means to you to play for Real Madrid. You could have continued [at Liverpool]... But you have chosen to come and that, Real Madrid fans will never forget,' Perez promised the Englishman. 'These fans will always support you, always. The Bernabeu is waiting for you, where you will experience unique moments, sometimes difficult to understand. Its magic and mystique makes you fall in love. You will soon understand what this club is all about. Each title is a boost to win the next... and the next is a Club World Cup that starts this weekend. Thank you, Alexander-Arnold, for coming to your home; Real Madrid,' the president then concluded. With Spanish veteran Dani Carvajal still recovering from a serious ACL rupture, and Fede Valverde previously covering their position, Alexander Arnold should become an immediate starter at right back for Real Madrid. He'll do so under another Liverpool legend that swapped Anfield for the Bernabeu in new head coach Xabi Alonso, while also being reunited with his England teammate and close friend Jude Bellingham.

Nebraska tight end target cancels visit to rival school
Nebraska tight end target cancels visit to rival school Nebraska football appears to be making headway with class of 2026 three-star tight end Luke Sorensen. The tight end has canceled his visit to Penn State, which was set to take place this weekend. He is set to decide on June 20, and has the Huskers and Ole Miss as his final two teams. This was reported by Tim Verghese on Tuesday. Sorensen is the 34th overall player in the state of California, and the 19th overall player at his position per Rivals rankings. He most recently visited Lincoln last weekend, during what was a big recruiting weekend for the program. Sorensen has received several crystal ball predictions over the past couple of days, and this looks like a recruitment that could be in Nebraska's favor. Sorensen would be the sixth commitment of the 2026 class, as the program most recently landed offensive lineman Rex Waterman on Tuesday afternoon. The program appears to be a very good spot in this recruitment at the moment.
