Nebraska DL enters transfer portal after 4 seasons
Published:
Mosai Newsom might end up being a standout player. It just won’t be with Nebraska in 2022.
Newsom announced his intent to enter the transfer portal Tuesday afternoon. A native of Waverly, Iowa, Newsom will have 2 years of eligibility remaining at his next school.
“I will forever be grateful for the opportunities that the University of Nebraska has provided for me,” Newsom wrote. “Representing this university and program will always hold a special place in my life. I have decided to enter the transfer portal as a grad transfer with two years of eligibility remaining. I want to thank all of my coaches and teammates for many lifelong memories and friendships.”

Newsom was a member of the Huskers for 4 years, but only saw substantial action in 2022. He appeared in 9 games and made 3 tackles – all of which came against Illinois. Newsom also played in 1 game during the 2020 season but did not record a stat.
Newsom is now the 9th scholarship player to hit the transfer portal from Nebraska since the season finale win over Iowa last month and the 12th player overall. The Huskers finished the season 4-8 after firing Scott Frost back in September.
The Huskers hired former Carolina Panthers coach Matt Rhule following their win over the Hawkeyes. During his time at Temple and Baylor, Rhule went 47–43, leading the Owls to a pair of AAC title appearances in 2015 and 2016. He also led the Bears to a Big 12 title appearance in 2019.
