Here’s what Scott Frost said Wednesday about the Huskers’ three incoming transfers | Football



“We’ve got some really good young players and some veterans coming back that we’re counting on giving us more help next year,” Frost said. “We just thought with the position group we had there that somebody who’s experienced and somebody who’s caught a lot of balls at the college level would help us.

“I’ve had, personally, some real good success with guys like him (FCS transfers). (Former Eastern Washington quarterback) Vernon Adams transferred to us at Oregon and had a great year as a quarterback. When you get the right ones, I think they can really help your football team.

“Samori is a guy that was an All-American at that level and has a ton of catches and a ton of yards and a ton of experience.”

Stepp (6-0, 235) left USC after three seasons and was recruited by multiple Big Ten teams. The Indianapolis native has dealt with injuries each of the past two years but has been effective overall. He averaged 5.1 yards on 100 career carries and was part of a roughly even three-way split in the backfield for the 5-1 Trojans this fall.

Stepp has three seasons of eligibility remaining, but he’s not a graduate transfer. He will need either a wavier or for the NCAA to pass the delayed-for-now one-time free transfer exemption that was expected to be voted on this month in order to be eligible for the 2021 season. It’s not a sure thing, but the general expectation is that some sweeping action will have to be taken by the NCAA on the wave of transfers during the coronavirus pandemic.
