Just because someone enters the transfer portal doesn't mean they are gone forever.

That was the case when Emmett Johnson intended to enter the portal but elected to stay at Nebraska. The same can be said now for Keona Davis, who has announced he'll remain a Husker.

"I'm back," Davis wrote on social media.

Davis entered the portal Monday. He played in 11 games as a true freshman, recording nine tackles and 1½ tackles for loss. He has three years of eligibility remaining.
