Nebraska football transfer portal tracker for spring 2025
Nebraska football is entering a busy time of year, as spring practices are underway. The spring transfer portal window is also open. Several names have already departed the program as 105-man roster limits take effect.
The Huskers have a logjam at some positions, and that's certainly the case at wide receiver. Some players have transferred from the program in search of better playing opportunities elsewhere.
Nebraska will hold a scrimmage at the end of spring practice after initially rejecting the idea. Now, the Huskers will have a spring game to give players who may not make the roster one last chance to play in Memorial Stadium or to get on tape for other opportunities. Rhule made the surprising decision on Wednesday night.
I called Troy (Dannen) last night (Wednesday). I'm going to go live and do some Red and White stuff. We have a bunch of guys that this could be their last time playing in that stadium. We have a bunch of guys that are fighting to make the 105. We have a bunch of guys, that, if they can't play here, they need some tape to go somewhere else.
The Husker Games will take place on Saturday, April 26, allowing fans to preview Nebraska football, volleyball and soccer teams for the 2025 season. On the football field, the Huskers will feature 7-on-7 games and skills competitions similar to the NFL's Pro Bowl games. Greats from Nebraska's past will also participate in various skills competitions. There will also be a women's flag football game between Midland University and the UNL all-star intramural team.
You can follow along with all the movements in our transfer portal tracker below.
Hardley Gilmore IV - Wide Receiver (Kentucky Wildcats)

Alex Bullock - Wide Receiver (South Dakota State)
Wide receiver Alex Bullock announced he was entering the transfer portal on Wednesday and signed with the South Dakota State Jackrabbits on Thursday. He played for three seasons in Lincoln, recording 16 receptions for 233 yards and a touchdown. He only had one catch for 12 yards last year, but had a big year in 2023. He had 15 catches for 221 yards and a touchdown, averaging 14.7 yards per reception. He was a building block for Matt Rhule's first season at Nebraska.
Bullock will now have a chance to continue his football career and finish in style. His route-running ability, as well as his sure hands, make him an intriguing receiver.

Jack McCallister - Punter (Uncommitted)
After transferring to Nebraska in December, punter Jack McCallister entered the portal. This past season, the former Washington punter averaged 44.0 yards per punt. He was expected to replace Brian Buschini, who had been Nebraska's punter for the past three seasons. Buschini averaged 44.7 yards per punt in 2024.
McCallister's sudden departure is due to a change in punting philosophy under new Special Teams Coordinator Mike Ekeler. Ekeler plans to use a rugby-style punter for the Cornhuskers, while McCallister is a traditional punter.

Insider predicts which New York Jets stars receive contract extensions, including Sauce Gardner
The New York Jets are a team in transition led by first-year head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey. With a roster centered around a young core of Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall and Sauce Gardner, only a few may receive contract extensions from the new regime. Asked to weigh in on the situation, Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated said he thinks Gardner and Wilson would receive real consideration for extensions right now and both deals could get done. However, a new deal for Hall isn't nearly as likely. Advertisement Related: New York Jets' Allen lazard's stance on playing for Pittsburgh Steelers, Aaron Rodgers 'If I had to guess, Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson would be considered for extensions now—and I do think there's a chance at least Gardner and maybe Wilson still get done. With Breece Hall, I think they'd explore it, but signing a back long-term can be tricky. I think with Johnson coming off an injury, they'll probably play it out, knowing they can tag him if he plays to his potential. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer on future contract extensions for New York Jets stars Both Wilson and Gardner would likely command deals that would make them among the highest-paid NFL players at their respective positions. Even coming off a down year, Gardner could push for $30 million annually given his track record as a two-time All-Pro selection. Garrett Wilson stats (2024): 101 receptions, 1,104 receiving yards, 7 touchdowns While Wilson hasn't received a Pro Bowl selection since being selected with the 10th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, he's delivered three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons despite poor quarterback play. As with cornerbacks, the going rate for No. 1 receivers is now pushing toward $30 million annually. Related: Jets insider sheds light on likely cost of Sauce Gardner contract extension Sauce Gardner stats (2024): 86.9 QB rating, 541 receiving yards, 15.4 yards per completion allowed on 58 targets in 15 games Advertisement Wilson and Gardner have both showcased the talent and durability to be building blocks for the Jets' future. The same can't be said for Hall. While he is coming off consecutive campaigns with over 1,300 scrimmage yards, long-term durability remains a concern and he ranked 39th in true yards per carry (4.0) last season. Furthermore, Hall seemed to be floated in trade rumors this offseason and the Jets at the very least scouted the rookie running back class. While contract extensions seem likely for Gardner and Wilson, Hall will have to prove himself to receive a long-term deal.
