Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts announced details for the football team's 2024 spring game.

Alberts revealed on Huskers Radio Network that Nebraska will host the annual scrimmage on Saturday, April 27 at 11 a.m. local time (CT). He explained that they're starting earlier so fans can attend softball and baseball games later that day.

Jacob Hohl, a punter for Nebraska, has decided to pull his name out of the transfer portal.

Hohl joined the Cornhuskers where he has spent the last two seasons. However, he has yet to appear for the program to this point.

With Hohl’s return, Nebraska has now only lost nine players in the portal this offseason. Six of those were on the offense, including QBs Chubba Purdy and Jeff Sims, with three others coming from their defense. 

On the flip side, the Cornhuskers have added six players to make up the No. 21 class per On3’s 2024 Team Transfer Portal Rankings. Matt Rhule and his staff added four offensive players in WRs Isaiah Neyor (Texas) and Jahmal Banks (Wake Forest), RB Dante Dowdell (Oregon), IOL Micah Mazzccua (Florida). Then, on defense, they earned commitments from LB Stefon Thompson (Syracuse) and CB Blye Hill (Saint Francis (PA)).
