Zavier Betts, who recently left Huskers program, returning to Nebraska football in 2023, per report

Zavier Betts stepped away from Nebraska football last year. Betts has since entered the transfer portal, but could be returning to play for the Huskers in 2023, per The Athletic’s Mitch Sherman.

Betts is reportedly intending to rejoin the team and play for Matt Rhule. Betts was a former 4-star WR from the 2020 class per the 247Sports Composite.

Betts played 18 total games in the two years he spent at Nebraska. He caught 32 passes or 417 yards receiving and 1 touchdown during that time.

Zavier Betts, the former Nebraska wide receiver who gave up football last March, intends to rejoin the Huskers this year, according to a family source. Betts was a four-star prospect out of Bellevue West in the 2020 class. He caught 32 passes in two seasons at Nebraska.

Betts must have seen something in Rhule that convinced the former Husker wideout to return. Rhule has been known around the college football world as a rebuilder after his work with Temple and Baylor. Rhule left for the Carolina Panthers shortly after his time with Baylor.

Rhule will be looking to help Nebraska achieve its first winning season since 2016. The Huskers played Tennessee in the Music City Bowl that season and finished at 9-4.
