Ronald Thompkins rose to No. 2 on Nebraska's running back depth chart entering last season.

He appeared in two of the first three games, rushing five times for 24 yards, before fading into the background.

He's now out of the program.

A native of Loganville, Georgia, Thompkins has entered the transfer portal, easing a bit of a logjam of Nebraska running backs competing for playing time in 2021.

The 5-foot-11, 195-pound Thompkins battled from behind early in his time at Nebraska after suffering torn ACLs in both his junior and senior seasons at Grayson High School.
