4.  Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda, WR

The addition of Samori Toure was huge for Nebraska football last season and the Huskers have added a couple of wideouts from the portal. One of those is Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda, who is coming to Lincoln from New Mexico State.

Toure was a playmaker on the outside and Garcia-Castaneda showed big-play ability last season with the New Mexico State catching 36 passes for 536 yards and four touchdowns, which also works out to an average of 15 yards per reception.

Nebraska needed another home-run threat and appears to have gotten one.

3. Trey Palmer, WR

Another key addition for Nebraska this offseason was LSU wideout Trey Palmer. Mickey Joseph was the wide receivers coach at LSU last season and is now with the Huskers. He was key in getting Palmer to Nebraska.

The 6-foot wideout caught 30 passes for 344 yards and two touchdowns last season for LSU and he’s going to have a good shot to be in the starting lineup along with Zavier Betts and Omar Manning.

Regardless of who starts between Garcia-Castaneda and Palmer, both should have an immediate impact for the Huskers next season.
