While the NCAA Transfer Portal closed this week, Nebraska is still working to fill out its 2026-27 roster.<\/p>\n
Head coach Fred Hoiberg<\/a> and his staff landed another addition on Thursday in San Diego State guard Taj DeGourville<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI probably first started talking with them about four days ago,\u201d DeGourville told HuskerOnline. \u201cI know they had a great season, and I saw some of their games this year. I\u2019m a bigger, versatile guard, and they said I could do a lot of the things they were looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n A 6-foot-5, 211-pound sophomore from Las Vegas, DeGourville appeared in all 33 games with five starts for the 22-11 Aztecs this past season. He averaged 5.5 points, 3.0 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per contest while shooting 34.5% on 55 attempts from 3-point range.<\/p>\n Most impressive was his 23% assist rate despite playing only 19 minutes per game. Recruited by the likes of Harvard as a standout at national prep power Wasatch Academy, DeGourville\u2019s unique blend of size, skill, and basketball IQ makes him an intriguing piece for the Huskers.<\/p>\n He officially visited Lincoln on Tuesday. During his visit, DeGourville said Hoiberg showed him clips of several former players who had thrived in his system at Nebraska and Iowa State. The two who were featured most were Brice Williams<\/a> and DeAndre Kane<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cCoach (Hoiberg) really liked my versatility on both ends of the floor and how I can push the pace and create for others,\u201d DeGourville said. \u201cI know they play with a lot of space and have shooters all over, so their system fits me well.\u201d<\/p>\n DeGourville chose NU over other portal interest from St. Mary\u2019s, UNLV, Alabama, Virginia, Seton Hall, Cincinnati, Boise State, and more. He currently has two seasons of eligibility remaining, though he could have three if the NCAA passes its proposed 5-for-5 eligibility rule.<\/p>\n DeGourville joins Belmont forward\u00a0Sam Orme<\/a>, Montana\/Minnesota forward\u00a0Kadyn Betts<\/a>, Utah Valley point guard\u00a0Trevan Leonhardt<\/a>, and Boston College forward Boden Kapke<\/a>\u00a0in Nebraska\u2019s transfer class. <\/p>\n The Huskers now have two available spots on their 2026-27 roster.<\/p>\n ***NOT A MEMBER?
