Former Nebraska wide receiver enters transfer portal after being dismissed from team
A former Nebraska wide receiver has entered the transfer portal. Hardley Gilmore IV officially entered the portal after being dismissed from the Cornhusker football team earlier this month.
Gilmore had just transferred to Nebraska in January. He spent his freshman season with the Kentucky Wildcats, having six catches for 153 yards and a touchdown last year. He hoped to reunite with wide receivers coach Daikiel Shorts, who also joined Nebraska from Kentucky. Head coach Matt Rhule was short and to the point when announcing his dismissal.
"Nothing outside of the program. Nothing criminal or anything like that. Just won't be with us anymore."
He was the second Kentucky wide receiver commitment this offseason, with Dane Key announcing his commitment to the program on Christmas Eve. Gilmore was a four-star receiver and was the 149th overall player in the 2024 recruiting class.

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.

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.

Auburn basketball learns opponent for 2025 ACC-SEC challenge
Auburn basketball learns opponent for 2025 ACC-SEC challenge Bruce Pearl and the Auburn Tigers will face a former SEC head coach in this year's edition of the ACC-SEC Challenge. The 2024 ACC-SEC Challenge was a huge success for the SEC, who posted a 14-2 record in the event. Auburn, unfortunately, was not on the winning side of last year's challenge, falling to Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, North Carolina, 84-78. This year, the Tigers will aim for revenge in front of their home crowd as they will host the NC State Wolfpack at Neville Arena for this year's edition of the ACC-SEC Challenge, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports. This year's matchup is intriguing as it will pit Auburn's Bruce Pearl against former LSU head coach Will Wade, who is set to begin his first season as the Wolfpack's head coach after spending the last two seasons at McNeese State. Wade is set to take on the challenge of building NC State back into an ACC contender after the program recorded a 38-34 record, with a 14-26 mark in ACC play over the last two seasons under Kevin Keatts. Wade won 105 games in five seasons at LSU. Since arriving in Raleigh, Wade has worked tirelessly in his rebuilding efforts through the transfer portal by landing former North Carolina forward Ven-Allen Lubin, former Houston forward Terrance Arceneaux, and ex-Texas Tech forward Darrion Williams. He also landed the nation's No. 14 recruiting class with four-star guard Matt Able headlining the haul. Auburn basketball will nearly start from scratch with its roster following last season's Final Four run. Auburn signed key players, including Mississippi State forward Keshawn Murphy, the Big 12's leading scorer Keyshawn Hall, and a talented wing player in Elyjah Freeman this offseason. Pearl also landed a top-20 recruiting class that features two JUCO stars and a pair of four-stars from the high school ranks. This season's matchup with NC State has the makings of a classic. Here is a look at the complete lineup for this season's ACC-SEC Challenge.
