Nebraska WR Isaiah McMorris enters NCAA Transfer Portal

Nebraska wide receiver Isaiah McMorris has officially entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, according to On3’s Pete Nakos. He only played in one game this season for the Cornhuskers, making his debut against the UTEP Miners. According to the On3 Industry Rankings for the 2024 cycle, McMorris was ranked as the No. 572 overall prospect in America and earned a three-star rating.

Before joining Nebraska, McMorris played his high school football for Bellevue West High School (Bellevue, Nebraska). He helped guide the Thunderbirds to two Class A state playoff appearances. McMorris and two of his high school teammates also signed with Nebraska, giving the Huskers three signees from the same high school for the first time since 1987 (Creighton Prep).

McMorris hauled in 44 catches for 576 yards and eight touchdowns in just eight games during his senior year, guiding Bellevue West to a 7-4 record. He also saw limited action on defense, tallying an interception. He finished as a first-team Super-State pick, earning those honors from the Lincoln Journal Star. McMorris also was a second team All-Nebraska selection from the Omaha World-Herald.

He posted huge numbers during his junior season for the Thunderbird offensive attack. McMorris hauled in a state-record 90 catches for 1,297 yards and 14 touchdowns, including a 99-yard touchdown reception. McMorris earned first team All-Nebraska and first team Super-State honors for his play. He originally began his high school career with Millard North, before transferring to Bellevue West.

A dynamic athlete, McMorris played a critical role on the Bellevue West basketball team that went 29-0 to the Class A state title his junior year. The Thunderbirds won back-to-back state championships, finishing 27-1 during his senior campaign. He earned honorable mention all-state honors his senior year.
