Former Nebraska wide receiver Zavier Betts took another big step toward rejoining the Husker football team on Sunday.

On Friday, HuskerOnline reported that all signs pointed toward Betts rejoining NU’s program. On Sunday, his mother Shannon confirmed he attended the 6 p.m. team meeting with head coach Matt Rhule. Winter conditioning for Nebraska begins this week.

The entire team reported back on Sunday for the meeting, and then a team dinner was scheduled after it. The staff also held an optional parent “Meet N’ Greet” event from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. allowing the families of the players to get to know the new coaching staff.

Betts left the Husker program in March of 2022 but did not officially enter the transfer portal until Jan. 3. It was at that time when Rhule initiated contact with Betts.

Before leaving NU, Betts was one of the most promising receivers on the roster. In the 2020 On3 Consensus Rankings, Betts was the 103rd overall rated player in the country. He participated in the prestigious Nike Opening Event in the summer of 2019.

As a freshman in 2020, Betts exploded on the scene with a 45-yard touchdown reception on a flip pass against Penn State, helping the Huskers pull off the upset over the Nittany Lions.

In 2021, he had an 83-yard touchdown run against Northwestern, the longest run by a Husker player since 2012.

Betts played 18 games over his two seasons at NU, catching 32 passes for 417 yards and one touchdown. He also had three rushes for 109 yards and a touchdown.

It’s unknown if Betts will go back on scholarship this month or have to rejoin the program as a walk-on.

Does he have to burn his RS in 2022? Or can he get an extra year considering he wasn’t a team member? What are the rhules here?

If he's coming back to the team, I have a hard time seeing him being a guy the coaches want to sit out another season, so no real point in trying to hang on to his redshirt. Having played 2021, 3 years of eligibility is his max.
 
Scarlet-colored glasses obviously, but he does kind of remind me of Quentin Johnston from TCU this year. Betts is not quite as tall as him but that touch pass his freshman year just seems a lot like what TCU did with Johnston this year. Get him crossing in space and just let his long strides pull away from defenders.
