Nebraska DB Koby Bretz re-enters transfer portal with do not contact tag

Nebraska safety Koby Bretz is back in the transfer portal with a “do not contact” tag, On3’s Pete Nakos reported Saturday. Bretz had previously entered the portal on Dec. 12 but withdrew his name on Friday.

Now just one day later, he has changed his mind again and is back in the portal. He spent four seasons with the Cornhuskers, appearing in 17 games, and will have one year of eligibility remaining.

Bretz ends his career in Lincoln with six total tackles, including one for loss. He earned three of those tackles this past season as he appeared in five contests.

As a recruit, Bretz was a three-star prospect in the 2021 class out of Westside High School in Omaha. He ranked as the No. 702 overall player and No. 56 player in the cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Koby Bretz is the 24th overall player and the fourth defensive back to enter the transfer portal from Nebraska. Additionally, the Cornhuskers have added 11 players and rank No. 54 in On3’s Transfer Portal Team Rankings.

Nebraska is coming off of a 7-6 finish to the regular season in its second season under Matt Rhule, including a win against Boston College in the Pinstripe Bowl on Saturday.

The portal officially opened on Monday, Dec. 9, 2024. More than 2,800 FBS scholarship players entered their names into the NCAA’s transfer database during the 2023-24 school year. Removing those who withdrew or went pro, the final total sat at 2,707 transfers.

So far this cycle, 2,293 players have entered the transfer portal with 757 of those already having committed to new schools.
