Keeping up with the transfer portal. Here's who the Huskers have coming to Lincoln

Hunter Anthony, OL

Previous school: Oklahoma State

Remaining eligibility: Two years

Of note: The Oklahoma native entered 2020 as OSU’s starting right tackle, but an injury cost him most of the season. Then he served as a backup this fall. In Lincoln, the 6-foot-6, 330-pounder will be a candidate both at right tackle and at either guard spot. He’s on campus this semester.

Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda, WR

Previous school: New Mexico State

Remaining eligibility: Two years plus a redshirt

Of note: Garcia-Castaneda had a productive season at NMSU, catching 37 passes for 578 yards and four touchdowns. He was coveted as soon as he hit the transfer portal, but NU visited him in California and got him on campus for a visit in December. At 6-foot and 190 pounds, Garcia-Castaneda is a candidate for any spot in the Husker receiver rotation under Mickey Joseph.

Brian Buschini, P

Previous school: Montana

Remaining eligibility: Three years

Of note: Buschini was named the FCS punter of the year after averaging better than 47 yards per punt and more than 44 net yards per attempt. He was considered perhaps the best punter available on the transfer market this winter and will be counted on right away in Lincoln. He’s on campus this semester.

MONTANA ATHLETICS

Timmy Bleekrode, K

Previous school: Furman

Remaining eligibility: Three years

Of note: Bleekrode immediately becomes the favorite to handle place-kicking duties after he was recruited from Furman by new special teams coordinator Bill Busch. The Atlanta native made 15-of-18 field goals in 2021 with a long of 51 yards and is 21-of-25 over the past two seasons.

Omar Brown, CB

Previous school: Northern Iowa

Remaining eligibility: Three years

Of note: Brown, a Minneapolis native, was named the FCS freshman of the year and a first-team All-American by Phil Steele and Hero Sports after logging 77 tackles and six interceptions in 2019.

Scott Bruhn, Nebraska Communications

Kevin Williams, OL

Previous school: Northern Colorado

Remaining eligibility: Two years

Of note: Williams, an Omaha North graduate, is a multi-year starter at the FCS level and began the 2021 season as the Bears’ starting left tackle. He’s got positional versatility and could be a candidate at tackle or guard for the Huskers in 2022. In a young room overall, he adds a veteran presence.

Tommy Hill, DB

Previous school: Arizona State

Remaining eligibility: Three years plus a redshirt

Of note: Nebraska loved Hill out of high school in Orlando in the 2021 class, but he ended up at ASU and earned playing time right away. The Huskers jumped on him as soon as he entered the portal, and now he’ll compete for playing time in a secondary that must replace three starters. He’s on campus this semester.

Ochaun Mathis, DL

Previous school: TCU

Remaining eligibility: Two years

Of note: The 6-foot-5, 260-pounder started a total of 34 games for TCU. He recorded 45 tackles, including seven for loss and four sacks this past season. That followed a breakout campaign in 2020, when he led the team with nine sacks and ranked second with 14 tackles for loss.

Kaine Williams, S

Previous school: Alabama

Remaining eligibility: Four years

Of note: Williams played in one game last season for Alabama, appearing on special teams in the SEC championship game against Georgia.
