Sean Callahan, Nebraska Football Insider: Hits the Transfer Portal, Cashes B1G $ and all things Cornhuskers!

Sean Callahan of Husker Online joins Pro Mindset host Craig Domann to talk about everything Nebraska football. Callahan who is a prominent member of the media covering Nebraska football shares his perspective on the recent transfers and the best utilization of the transfer portal. He mentions that the transfer portal is here to stay, and college coaches should expect players to transfer each year and coaches need to allocate a few spots each recruiting cycle to transfers in addition to the normal high school and JUCO recruits.

Callahan also shares his belief that “Big 10 money” is the ultimate equalizer in the Big 10 and the main reason there are no pushovers in the Big 10 like there was in the Big 12. The Big 10 money has created parity as every school has the same resources to compete in the arms race (facilities race), as well as all Big 10 school have similar coach’s payroll expenditures. Most importantly, every Saturday, regardless if Nebraska is favored or not, the Cornhuskers have to be ready to play.

Callahan has an insider’s viewpoint about Luke McCaffrey’s entry into the transfer portal, as well as Adrian Martinez’s growth, leadership and prospects for 2021. Callahan and Domann also discuss the intersection of zealous fans, social media and student-athletes. In today’s world, fans can reach out and direct message (DM) players in a professional and sometimes unprofessional manner.

Callahan shares his prediction on the 2021 Nebraska Cornhuskers’ record.
