Nebraska’s 2023 NCAA Transfer Portal radar continues to take shape, and a new name vaulted up the watch list on Thursday.

Georgia guard transfer Kario Oquendo announced that he had narrowed down his list to four schools: Nebraska, Auburn, Oregon, and Utah.

The 6-foot-4, 220-pound senior declared for the NBA Draft while also entering his name into the portal on March 22. He also went into the portal after the 2021-22 season but eventually opted to return to the Bulldogs for another year.

Oquendo led UGA in scoring with 15.2 points per game as a sophomore two seasons ago after transferring in from Florida SouthWestern State. The Titusville, Florida, native averaged 12.7 ppg and 2.6 rpg in 2022-2023 but shot just just 26.7% on 3-pointers.

The Huskers currently have four available scholarships for the 2023-24 season. Along with seniors Walker, Sam Griesel, and Emmanuel Bandoumel, NU lost redshirt freshmen Denim Dawson and Oleg Kojenets to the portal.

The Huskers currently have four available scholarships for the 2023-24 season. Their lone 2023 signee so far is IMG Academy (Florida) wing Eli Rice.
