Transfer tracker: RB Dante Dowdell latest Husker to enter the portal

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – With the college football regular season coming to an end, it’s that time of year where the landscape of the sport is shifted by the transfer portal.
Several Huskers are expected to change schools during the offseason due to the new roster limit rules, but the departure of defensive coordinator Tony White has put some surprise names in the mix.
The most recent Husker to throw his name into the transfer portal is running back Dante Dowdell.
Dowdell transferred to Nebraska this season and led the Huskers on the ground with 12 touchdowns.
