2025-26 #PortalSZN Thread
- Thread starter Fargo Husker
- Start date
Schedule detail
As we said on the pod @HuskerGarrett - absolutely have to go get these guys (or make a serious run at them) if we’re serious about expediting Aurich’s scheme adaptation and when factoring in the commentary Rhule made about having the money to go get guys
Let’s get him (and the other SDSU defensive guys including maybe miraculously White if we can beat out TTU) on board and prove we aren’t messing around
Now this is the type of O lineman I am hoping for.
He did only play in 7 games this season due to an injury. So, take that into account when looking at stats.
List of visitors so far.
They wish they had my spreadsheet
Sign em all
lol I read your post wrong. My bad.

From Dean:
“
HuskerOnline can confirm UCF defensive tackleHorace Lockett is indeed visiting Nebraska. The 6-foot-6, 355-pound Grant has played in just four games over the last two seasons.
In 2025, Lockett played 113 snaps in four games, logging an 85.2 grade on PFF. He did not play in 2024. Grant came to UCF from Georgia Tech, where he played a combined 171 snaps over the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
A source with knowledge of Lockett's recruitment told me he's "asking for a "very big number" as Notre Dame, Ohio State, Ole Miss, South Carolina and others are involved.
He's expected to miss most, if not all, of the spring with an upper-body injury that took him out for the season following Central Florida's Week 5 game at Kansas State.”
I’d actually be pretty hesitant to spend “a very big number” on an oft-injured guy who won’t be available for spring ball and has played fewer than 300 snaps in his career.

Agreed. We really can’t afford to miss on big financial swings, especially at that position.
On these guys you pay per pound
he thinks every Horace is Horace Grant?
The upper body injury is a surgically repaired pec. The 2023-4 injury was his hand.
Your spreadsheet has the visitors? I went to look but I didn't see them.
Definitely a tight rope to walk though because they can't end up with a DL/Edge situation like they had this year
I think you have to take some of both. Especially at spots where we are taking multiple. You can get more for you money this way and build some depth.
Past production doesn't always equal future success.
But if we are taking 1 at a position like WR, you probably want some production.
Maybe I'm just too simple for all this but shouldn't the "strategy" be buy the best players our money can buy at each position? Worked out well for Oregon and Texas Tech. Sure it would be nice to be able to Cignetti and find three stars and turn them into future high draft picks but really we don't have that kind of eye for talent on staff so lets not try to be the smartest team during the portal season because we aren't.
If they bring some young guys in from the portal I'm good with potential but most of the portal guys need to have some production especially with the money that's being thrown around.
Hopefully they can get most of the potential guys from the high school recruits. And most of the portal guys are production.
The Horace Grant error was amazing. And that he kept calling him "Grant".
