Sad News: Nebraska Cornhuskers key star announce plan to enter NCAA Transfer Portal
Nebraska football tight end Nate Boerkircher entered the transfer portal on Wednesday. This was confirmed by multiple media outlets.
Boerkircher had a key role in the Huskers’ offense towards the end of the season. Dana Holgorsen’s arrival as offensive coordinator allowed for Boerkircher to have a bigger role. All told, he recorded six catches for 102 yards in 2024.
The Nebraska native joined the program as a walk-on and did not play in the 2020 season. He first began to see action in 2021 when he played in three games. The 2023 season proved to be a year in which he saw his first extended action. He recorded five catches for 51 yards that year.
Boerkircher saw a bit more utilization under Holgorsen within the offense. It will be interesting to see if the program can get him back from the portal, as he would be a great asset in this pass-first offense.
