Despite a freshman campaign where he averaged almost 4.5 yards per carry, Nebraska running back Aaron Green has decided to move on from the Huskers after just one year.
Green’s father confirmed the transfer to Sean Callahan of HuskersOnline (the report is behind a paywall) and other media outlets.
Green was a four-star recruit (Rivals.com) from San Antonio Texas who signed with the Huskers in 2011 and finished fifth on the team with 105 yards and pair of touchdowns. Green’s father told Callahan that his son was looking to transfer to another school with an offense better suited for his athleticism and could end up at a Big 12 program.
Coach Bo Pelini later confirmed the transfer through the school.
The departure is a loss for Nebraska’s running back depth behind Rex Burkhead as Braylon Heard has made the move to cornerback.
