The calendar has flipped and the transfer portal window is fast approaching.

The first news of the month for Nebraska football comes from Gabe Ervin Jr. The Husker running back will enter the portal when it opens on Dec. 9.

Ervin spoke on 93.7 The Ticket Monday.

"I can go somewhere and make an impact," Ervin said.

Out of Buford High School in Georgia, Ervin enrolled at Nebraska in January of 2021. He started two games that fall before suffering a season-ending injury against Oklahoma and utilizing a redshirt.

Ervin played in eight games in 2022, rushing for 94 yards. He had his best season statistically as a Husker in 2023, despite another season-ending injury. Ervin rushed for 196 yards over three games.

This past season, Ervin appeared in eight games, taking 14 carries for 41 yards and two touchdowns. He'll have one year of eligibility remaining at his next school.
