Nebraska redshirt freshman wide receiver Andre Hunt and tight end Katerian Legrone, facing a 2½-year suspension from NU for allegedly violating the school's sexual misconduct policy, according to an ESPN report this week, are each in the NCAA's transfer portal, a football spokesman confirmed to the Journal Star on Friday.

Hunt and Legrone were indefinitely suspended from the Husker program before the team's season-opener back in August.

An ESPN investigative report on Thursday said the pair were found by a Title IX investigation to have violated the university's policy on sexual misconduct.
