Nebraska football mailbag: Transfer talk, Phil Snow and questions about injured Huskers

Another day brought additional movement in the transfer portal as three more Nebraska football players are set to depart – and all seemingly for different reasons. In better news for the Huskers, freshman defensive end Keona Davis is coming back, one day after he entered the portal just as the program picked a new D-line coach.


Connor and Mitch deliver their analysis and answer your questions from the mailbag. Is college football fatigue a real thing, with all of the happenings in the sport wearing out fans? What is Matt Rhule’s plan with Phil Snow, who’s on the way to Lincoln to serve as associate head coach? Also, who are the top three transfer adds of the portal era for Nebraska?


We finish with some talk about the 2025 Big Ten schedule, which was released on Wednesday by the league. And it’s a big weekend on campus in Lincoln outside of football. Indiana basketball is in town Friday. And Wisconsin volleyball returns, perhaps to take a shot on Sunday at blocking Nebraska’s path to the Final Four next week.
