Nebraska landed a defensive back piece out of the portal on Saturday.
The player is Corey Collier Jr., a former Florida Gator and member of the 2021 recruiting class. He had a tackle for loss and a sack as a true freshman before appearing in 4 games with a tackle in 2022.
Collier shared his announcement on social media:

Collier was a 4-star prospect coming out of Miami Palmetto High School in Miami, Florida. He was rated as the No. 6 safety and No. 106 player nationally during the 2021 recruiting cycle.
Collier is the second member of the Florida program to announce a transfer to Nebraska this offseason. Long-snapper Marco Ortiz is the other player to commit via the portal.
We’ll see how these pieces fare in Lincoln under Matt Rhule.
