Nebraska DB enters name in transfer portal, led team in 2019 with nine special teams tackles

Now that the 2019 season is over for many teams, players on those teams have a decision to make. Do I stay, or do I go?

In 2019, it seems as though the thought process is exactly that. The news is littered with players entering their names into the NCAA transfer portal, and at Nebraska, it’s no different.

On Monday afternoon, news broke that Nebraska DB Isaiah Stalbird, the team’s special teams leader in tackles (9) in 2019, has entered his name into the portal:

Making nine tackles is one thing. Playing in 243 special teams plays in a season is another.

Stalbird may not have recorded 10 interceptions this season, but he sure made an impact on special teams. In some games, that’s what can decide a win or a loss.

Stalbird is a redshirt freshman.
