There is no guarantee that the Nebraska football team won't have Emmett Johnson at its disposal next season. However, if the running back does bolt for the NFL, the Huskers could do worse than Mekhi Frazier as his replacement.
Frazier, a running back who played the last two seasons at Michigan State, announced this weekend that he intends to enter the transfer portal when it opens on January 2. While his stats were far from eye-popping in 2025, he might have been limited by a team and offense that was bad enough that his head coach, Jonathan Smith, was fired on Sunday.
