***OUTGOING TRANSFERS***

TE/DL Ian Flynt

Inside Nebraska confirmed redshirt freshman tight end/defensive end Ian Flynt has entered the transfer portal on Tuesday, April 29.

Flynt redshirted his first and only season at Nebraska in 2024 and played in one game, the season-opener against UTEP. Flynt began his career as a tight end and was at the position for most of the spring practices this year. During Nebraska's spring finale scrimmage, Flynt had switched positions to the defensive line.

Flynt was a four-star recruit in the 2024 class out of Katy (Texas) James E. Taylor.

WR Hayes Miller

Inside Nebraska confirmed on Tuesday, April 29, that sophomore receiver Hayes Miller had entered the transfer portal. He played in one game in 2024 while redshirting.

Miller joined Nebraska's program in summer 2024 as a walk-on after a strong performance at a post-graduate camp in Lincoln. Then-receivers coach Garrett McGuire liked Miller's footwork on his routes.

Miller spent his true freshman season in 2023 at Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College. He played his senior high school season at Mill Valley in Shawnee, Kansas.

OL/DL David Borchers

Inside Nebraska confirmed sophomore lineman David Borchers has entered the transfer portal on Tuesday, April 29.

Borchers spent the past two seasons at Nebraska, plus the spring period in 2025. Borchers, a product of North Scott High School in Iowa, began his Husker career as an offensive lineman in 2023 and redshirted. He moved to the defensive line in 2024 and never appeared in a game.

DB Evan Taylor

Inside Nebraska confirmed on Tuesday, April 29, that redshirt freshman defensive back Evan Taylor has entered the transfer portal.

Taylor redshirted the 2024 season and never appeared in a game. Taylor suffered a serious leg injury as a senior at Cuthbertson High School in North Carolina. He was a three-star recruit in the 2024 class.

OL Grant Seagren

Inside Nebraska's Tim Verghese has confirmed that third-year sophomore offensive lineman Grant Seagren entered the transfer portal on April 28.

Seagren, who came to Nebraska as a two-way standout out of Oakland-Craig High School, did not play a game while redshirting in 2023. Seagren began to gain some buzz in his second season and played seven games in 2024.

K Nico Ottomanelli

Inside Nebraska has confirmed that kicker Nico Ottomanelli entered the transfer portal on April 28.

Ottomanelli, a redshirt freshman who did not play in a game during his lone season at Nebraska in 2024, signed with Nebraska out of Northern Valley Regional (N.J.) as one of the top kicking prospects in the northeast.

He was a late addition to the Huskers' roster in summer 2024. As 2023 starter Tristan Alvano dealt with recovery from offseason surgery for a lingering groin injury, Ottomanelli found himself in a battle for Nebraska's starting placekicker job with John Hohl.

Hohl ultimately won out and earned the No. 1 job en route to being the Huskers' placekicker in all 13 games last season. Alvano is also back on the field for Nebraska, having most recently kicked field goals during the "Husker Games" on April 26 at Memorial Stadium.

DB D'Andre Barnes

Inside Nebraska has confirmed that D'Andre Barnes entered the transfer portal on Tuesday, April 22.

Barnes, a product out of Regis Jesuit High School in Colorado, spent the past two seasons with the Huskers and played in one game.

WR Alex Bullock

Wide receiver Alex Bullock, who has not been on the team's official roster since January, entered the portal on April 16. On April 17, he committed to South Dakota State.

The former Creighton Prep star did not play any offensive snaps over his first two seasons in 2021 and 2022, but he became one of the Huskers' top risers in Year 1 of the Rhule Era. Bullock, formerly a walk-on, earned a scholarship entering the 2023 season and finished with 15 receptions for 221 yards and a touchdown while playing in all 12 games.

Bullock played in all 13 games in 2024, including two starts. He finished with just one reception for 12 yards but was heralded for his perimeter-blocking skills throughout the year.

P Jack McCallister

Jack McCallister, who spent four seasons as a punter at Washington, entered the transfer portal on Dec. 9 and announced his commitment to Nebraska on Dec. 17.

Now, he is on the move again, announcing his entry into the spring transfer portal on April 16. He has one season of eligibility remaining.

McCallister was Washington's starting punter for three seasons. He punted 110 times in his career, averaging 42.0 yards per punt with 20 punts of 50 yards or longer and 33 punts down inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.

He redshirted as a true freshman in 2021 and earned the starting job in 2022, when he averaged 40.8 yards per punt. He increased that to 41.7 yards per punt the following year and, as a member of the Ray Guy Award watch list in 2024, had his best season with an average of 43.0 yards per punt.

WR Hardley Gilmore IV

Wide receiver Hardley Gilmore IV – who transferred from Kentucky to Nebraska on Jan. 1, 2025 – lasted roughly four months with the Huskers.

Gilmore was dismissed from the team this spring, with Rhule making the announcement at a post-practice press conference on April 5.

Gilmore then officially entered the transfer portal on April 16 – the first day the spring portal opened. On

WR Cooper Hausmann

Walk-on wide receiver Cooper Hausmann is no longer listed on the Huskers' official roster.

Hausmann, a former two-way standout at quarterback and safety for in-state program Norris High School, joined the Nebraska program as a quarterback in 2022.

Hausmann, who redshirted in 2022, played in one game across his three seasons at Nebraska, logging three snaps at receiver in the Huskers' win over Purdue.

Update: LB Mikai Gbayor

Former Husker linebacker Mikai Gbayor transferred out of Nebraska in December during the portal's winter window.

Gbayor committed to Missouri on Dec. 16, but it was a short stay in Columbia. On April 10, Mizzou Today's Kyle McAreavy reported that Gbayor intended to enter the portal again, when it opened for the spring period.

Gbayor announced his transfer commitment to North Carolina on April 16.
