Nebraska Picks Up Top FCS DB Omar Brown From Northern Iowa

Nebraska has picked up Omar Brown from the transfer portal. Brown is a defensive back, who played for Northern Iowa last season, garnering FCS Defensive Freshman of the Year honors in 2019 in the process.

In 2019 he had 77 total tackles and six interceptions. Against Iowa State, he had 7 solo tackles and four assisted tackles, so it appears he can play against FBS opponents - in case you had that question.

Brown was a 2-star recruit from MInneaplis, Minnesota out of high school. He went to Northern Iowa, where he started all 7 games in a shortened spring season in 2021.
