Former USC running back Markese Stepp has officially landed in Nebraska. The midwestern native participated in a collaborative video with Nebraska Athletics to introduce himself to Husker nation.

In the video, Stepp detailed specifically why he chose Nebraska after entering the NCAA Transfer Portal in December.

"Im ready to put my best foot forward and bond with my teammates, [and] turn Nebraska football around" said Stepp. "I chose Nebraska, No.1 for the coaches, they were genuine. Coach Frost [and] Coach Held they recruited me here. They thought I would be a huge boost for the offense, and I appreciated how real they were with me."

Stepp went on to note that Nebraska has a, "great fan base. Nebraska is known for selling out games. They’ve sold out every game since 1962, so that is going to be great to play in font of 90 thousand [people] and show the world what Nebraska Football is all about."

Stepp mentioned that Nebraksa is a "fresh start" after three years with the USC Trojans.

One former teammate of Stepp's took to Twitter to show his support for the powerful running backs new journey. WR Amon Ra-St. Brown wrote, "Yessir. Time to eat."
