Patrick O’Brien was not at Nebraska spring football practice on Thursday and subsequently announced his intention to transfer from the school.
O'Brien, in a brief phone interview with the Journal Star, said he was planning on meeting with compliance staff and coaches later today. Late in the morning, he confirmed his intention to transfer on Twitter.
"I will always be a supporter of Nebraska football and that will last a lifetime," he said. "I want to thank the fans for making my experience here so awesome, you have been so supportive and words can't describe how thankful I am.
