In recruiting news: Richard Torres, a three-star quarterback from San Antonio, has announced his commitment to the Huskers. According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, the 6-foot-6 Torres is the 59th best QB prospect in the nation. His commitment is Nebraska’s fourth in the 2022 class, joining linebacker Ernest Hausmann, wide receiver Victor Jones Jr. and tight end Chase Androff.
For the second time in a year, Luke McCaffrey has a new transfer destination. On Monday, the now-former Husker AND Louisville quarterback announced on his Twitter account that he is transferring to Rice. The news comes less than a week after Cardinals coach Scott Satterfield confirmed McCaffrey had left the program. He began his career at Nebraska and appeared in seven games — starting two — as a redshirt freshman in 2020. His transfer to the Owls will mark his third program in less than a year.
