LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska defensive back Myles Farmer entered the transfer portal Wednesday after coach Matt Rhule suspended him for the start of preseason practice.
Farmer was the team's second-leading tackler last season and had been expected to be the anchor of the Cornhuskers' secondary. A Nebraska spokesman confirmed Farmer's name is in the portal.
Rhule didn’t disclose the reason for Farmer's suspension other than to say it had to do with a failure to adhere to team standards.
The previous coaching staff suspended Farmer for the game against Michigan last November after he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving.
