Nebraska Cornhuskers forward Rienk Mast #51 Nebraska Cornhuskers guard Brice Williams #3 MBB vs Purdue

Nebraska’s Juwan Gary and Brice Williams announced today they will return to Nebraska for their final season of eligibility.

This is welcomed news for Fred Hoiberg’s program after the roster attrition has dominated much of the talk surrounding the team this offseason. There have been six scholarship Huskers from this season’s roster to enter the portal, including guards CJ Wilcher, Jamarques Lawrence, Eli Rice, Ramel Lloyd Jr. and centers Blaise Keita and Matar Diop.

The third member of that core, Rienk Mast, has yet to announce his plans for the 2024-25 season. Like Williams and Gary, Mast has one season of eligibility remaining but it weighing playing professionally overseas.

Williams started all 34 games for the Huskers this past season, averaging over 13 points per contest and leading the Big Red in steals and tied with the team lead in blocks. Gary played in 28 contests, starting 20 and averaged nearly 12 points and 6 rebounds per game.
