Nebraska Football: Why Justin McGriff transferring won’t be a big deal

In this new age of college football, players and coaches seem to be leaving all the time and Monday, the Nebraska football program got the news that wide receiver Justin McGriff was leaving the program.

McGriff, who was a late addition for head coach Scott Frost in the last recruiting class, wasn’t a big-name guy and was just a 3-star for the Huskers. He saw some time at wide receiver and tight end but didn’t play in any games.

Despite the fact that Stanley Morgan Jr. is graduating and there should be more room for snaps next season at wide receiver, McGriff is leaving and while some might be worried about his departure and what it means, there really is no reason to be concerned.
