Cockeye quarterback Joey Labas has entered his name into the NCAA Transfer Portal, per reports from Tater Island Sports.

Labas just finished his sophomore season with the Cockeyes after joining the program as a four-star recruit in 2021.

Labas made his first and only career start for the Cockeyes in last year's Music City Bowl. In that postseason win over Kentucky, the then-freshman quarterback led Cockeye to a 21-0 victory — throwing for 139 yards and one touchdown.

Labas did not take the field for the Cockeyes this season. After Cade McNamara suffered a season-ending ACL tear in September, sophomore quarterback Deacon Hill stepped in as the team's starter for the rest of the season.

Labas has two seasons of remaining eligibility.
Wow. There was a 4 star behind Duncan? What a whiff of a rating.
 
I have a theory going on and I’ll be interested to see how active Nebraska is in throwing money around this year.

Nebraska has a large wealth gap in the fan base, higher than most mostly due to small instate population and fan base. Nebraska’s lucky in the sense everyone in the state for the most part gravitates and roots for Nebraska.
The bigger boosters care more about vanity than actually having Nebraska be a winning program.

1890, ABM, etc were originally 501c3’s but since the IRS made the statement collectives arent tax deductible 1890 has put on the website all donations aren’t tax deductible the donations have dropped. It’s why Nebraska went from getting wins of people like Mathis and Toure over big schools to not much.
If you care about vanity over winning why donate money when you get nothing out of it. It’s why the stadium donations for expansion were easier to get than usual.

TLDR the disproportional distribution of wealth in the fan base is killing the program. And it’s why 1890 tweeted out the panhandling tweet. Top boosters want tax deductions and a place to flash nice things over on field product.
 
Did Sims ever enter portal. Still not seeing his name listed in portal link I have. Also noticed Isiah Harris entered portal yesterday, rb out of Omaha. Did he ever play?
 
Anything new here? Cliffs?
This is the only Nebraska mention:

Ohio State QB Kyle McCord

Intel: Sources have told On3 that Kyle McCord is looking for a spot that will continue to help develop him for the NFL. Sources have said a number of schools have been in contact with the former five-star recruit, including Syracuse and Rutgers. Nebraska offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield flew to Columbus on Tuesday to visit with McCord. This recruitment is still wide open. Sources have said McCord does not want to rush this process. A timetable hasn’t been set but he will take visits.
