Nebraska running back target commits to the Miami Hurricanes
Nebraska running back target commits to the Miami Hurricanes Nebraska football recruiting target CharMar Brown committed to the Miami Hurricanes on Wednesday at noon. Multiple media outlets reported this. Brown had an active last week in his recruitment. He visited Miami last Tuesday and then traveled to Lincoln to see the Huskers, last Thursday. The running back is coming off the 2024 season that saw him tally 1,181 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns over 16 games. He was able to win the Jerry Rice Award, which is given to the top freshman in the FCS. He was also the Missouri Valley Football Conference Newcomer of the Year and Freshman of the Year. Brown joins a Miami backfield that includes the likes of Jordan Lyle and Mark Fletcher Jr. as the two main running backs. The Omaha native still has three years of eligibility. The Huskers have running back talent of their own in Emmett Johnson and Kwinten Ives. Brown would have added additional depth and experience to a running back room that is talented but young. Nevertheless, the Huskers' roster still appears to be in good shape heading into the 2025 season.

Hurricanes receive transfer portal pledge from running back who excelled at FCS level
The Miami Hurricanes' success in the spring transfer portal continued Wednesday, with UM receiving a commitment from North Dakota State running back CharMar Brown. Brown, who just finished his redshirt freshman season and has three years of eligibility remaining, was the Jerry Rice Award winner last season as the top FCS freshman after rushing for 1,181 yards and 15 touchdowns on 244 carries (4.84 yards per carry) to help lead North Dakota State to an FCS championship. He chose Miami over the likes of Nebraska and Cal. Brown, listed at 5-11 and 218 pounds, adds another proven running back to the Hurricanes' room that is expected to be led by junior Mark Fletcher Jr. and sophomore Jordan Lyle. True freshman Girard Pringle and redshirt freshman Chris Wheatley-Humphrey round out the group. Brown is Miami's fifth addition via the spring transfer portal, all of whom have committed during the past five days. The others: linebacker Kamal Bonner from NC State, kicker Bert Auburn from Texas, wide receiver Keelan Marion from BYU and wide receiver Tony Johnson from Cincinnati.

Nebraska still in running for coveted transfer portal running back from North Dakota
Nebraska still in running for coveted transfer portal running back from North Dakota Nebraska football is pushing hard in their pursuit of North Dakota State running back CharMar Brown, and a new update may be a positive one for the program. Brown visited the Huskers on Thursday and met with three important Nebraska coaches. The running back visited with head coach Matt Rhule, offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, and running backs coach E.J. Barthel. Brown was on his way back from his Miami visit on Wednesday night and was in Nebraska Thursday morning. He has been a hot commodity throughout this transfer cycle. He recorded 1.181 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns in 16 games. He won the Jerry Rice Award, which is given to the top freshman in the FCS. Now, he is looking to get an opportunity on a bigger stage. The Huskers could certainly use running back depth behind Emmett Johnson. Kwinten Ives and Mehki Nelson are certainly players with high potential. However, Brown's experience could help elevate this running back room in a big way.
