With the season over, Nebraska has been hit with multiple blows at once. Ending the season without playoff eligibility was one, but now, head coach Matt Rhule faces multiple player exits. The newest addition to the exodus is safety Caden VerMaas.

On3 College Football Insider Pete Nakos reported that Caden VerMaas is expected to enter the transfer portal. His departure would effectively redshirt him after just one year in the program, which he joined as a freshman from Millard North High School. The move preserves four years of college eligibility for the safety. He played for the Cornhuskers in their wins against Akron and Houston Christian this season.

VerMaas’s exit just increases Nebraska’s issues, as the program may also lose sophomore wide receiver Jacory Barney and quarterback TJ Lateef, who took over after starting quarterback Dylan Raiola suffered a broken fibula against USC in Week 11.

This is a developing story…
