Brice Williams, Juwan Gary will 'run it back' at Nebraska in 2024-25
In an offseason full of roster turnover, Nebraska got some desperately needed retention on Thursday.
Two key starters from last season’s 23-win campaign, Brice Williams and Juwan Gary, announced they would return to the Huskers in 2024-25. The standout guard and forward made their decision official with a social media post.
Williams was critical to Nebraska’s success this year, especially after taking over as the primary point guard midway through the year. The 6-foot-7 transfer from Charlotte ranked in the Huskers’ top three in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, and blocks per game while defending the opposing team’s top guard.
Gary recovered from a season-ending shoulder injury in 2022-23 and emerged as a key cog in NU’s starting lineup. He averaged 11.7 ppg on 50% shooting, ranked second on the team in rebounding and steals, and led in blocked shots.
Fred Hoiberg and Co. now await a decision from starting five-man Rienk Mast. The Bradley transfer was a third-team All-Big Ten selection by the league’s coaches. After the NCAA Tournament loss, he said he would explore his professional options overseas.
