Edge rusher Jimari Butler is in the transfer portal after three seasons at Nebraska. He played in every game as a promising reserve in 2022. Butler, from Mobile, Ala., is the Huskers’ 10th scholarship player to enter portal in the past two weeks.

Nebraska went 4-8 and lost 5 of their final 6 games to finish 6th in the B1G West division. The team fired head coach Scott Frost following a 1-2 start and saw its interim head coach, Mickey Joseph, get arrested on suspicion of assault last week.
Those could be a few of many reasons why Butler is looking to move on. Also, new head coach Matt Rhule is taking over in Lincoln. The former Carolina Panthers head coach has a tough task with all of these players deciding to move on shortly after the news of his hiring.
