On3 • • sports
Key Points:
- Belmont sophomore forward Sam Orme has committed to Nebraska after entering the NCAA Transfer Portal following the departure of Belmont head coach Casey Alexander.
- Orme, a 6’10” forward from Carmel, Indiana, was a second-team All-Missouri Valley selection this season, averaging 12.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and shooting nearly 40% from three-point range.
- Nebraska, coming off its first-ever NCAA Tournament wins and a Sweet 16 appearance, is set to rely on Orme amid significant roster changes, including the graduation of key scorers and potential departures through the transfer portal and NBA Draft.
- The Huskers face the challenge of replacing nearly 80% of their scoring if star guard Pryce Sandfort decides to enter the NBA Draft, highlighting Orme’s expected role as a key contributor moving forward.
