Inside Nebraska has confirmed Quaran McPherson entered his name in the transfer portal today.
McPherson, a 6-foot-3, 197-pound guard from Queens, New York, spent the past two seasons with the Huskers but never appeared in a game. After a postgraduate season at Link Year in Missouri during the 2020-21 campaign, McPherson, a three-star recruit in the Class of 2021, redshirted his first year with Nebraska. In August, he suffered a season-ending knee injury.
McPherson’s move to the portal comes in the middle of a busy and important offseason for fifth-year head coach Fred Hoiberg, who is looking to build off last season’s 16-16 record. McPherson becomes the third Husker to enter the transfer portal, joining Oleg Kojenets and Denim Dawson. Kojenets has since transferred to Wyoming and Dawson to Tennessee State.
The Huskers added two transfers from mid-major programs in forward/center Rienk Mast of Bradley and guard Brice Williams of Charlotte. Mast was a first-team All-Missouri Valley Conference pick last season while Williams was second-team All-Conference USA.
Brady Dunlap, a 2023 guard, visited this past weekend, as did former Siena point guard Javian McCollum. A source has told me McCollum is likely to sign with Oklahoma.
Nebraska now has three open scholarships available for the 2023-24 season.
