Ranking All 17 of Nebraska Football's Transfer Portal Additions

The Huskers' portal class ranked 31st nationally, according to 247Sports. However, we believe it has the potential to be far more impactful than that.

The 2026 Nebraska football season is almost here, and that means it's the perfect time to take a look back at how the Huskers got better heading into Matt Rhule's fourth year.

Having added 17 transfer portal players and a dozen high school recruits, NU heads into the fall with nearly 30 new members on its team. Now with one of the oldest rosters in the Big Ten, Nebraska will have a chance to take the next step.

In this video, Elliott Dyrland and I (Trevor Tarr) come together on another edition of SkerScoop to rank all 17 of Nebraska football's transfer portal additions in 2026.

Synopsis

Elliott Dyrland, an up-and-coming Nebraska on SI and HuskerMax contributor, joins Trevor Tarr, who's been working for both entities for over a year, to give you a detailed outlook on the transfer portal class the Huskers brought in over the offseason.

From No. 17 all the way up to No. 1, the duo offered their thoughts on which additions will prove to be the most fruitful for the Cornhuskers this fall.

Taking into account everything from game experience and position played to remaining eligibility and whether they'll fill a starting role, SkersScoop dives deep into the stats and hype surrounding these additions to project how impactful we believe they will be in 2026.
