Nebraska Cornhuskers freshman guard Bryce McGowens announced earlier today that he will not return to Lincoln next season but will instead enter his name into the 2022 NBA Draft. McGowens had one of the most prolific freshman seasons in Nebraska history and was the highest rated recruit the Huskers had ever signed in the modern recruiting era.
The younger McGowens brother finished his career at Nebraska sitting at or near the top for a number of program records. He finished in the top-10 of Nebraska’s school freshmen charts in points (522, 1st), free throws made (162, first), free throws attempted (195, first), field goals (160, 2nd), three-pointers (40, 6th), and rebounds (161, 4th).
