Former Nebraska Cornhuskers tight end Arik Gilbert has entered the NCAA transfer portal. The former five-star recruit is once again searching for a new team after stints with Nebraska, LSU, and Georgia.
Ranked as the top tight end and No. 5 overall player in the 2020 class, Gilbert showed promise early in his career. As a freshman at LSU in 2020, he caught 35 passes for 368 yards and two touchdowns.
Gilbert transferred to Georgia in 2021 but didn’t play that season. In 2022, he appeared in three games with UGA and he recorded two catches and a touchdown before transferring to Nebraska. However, he did not play a game for the Cornhuskers and left the team after off the field issues in 2023.
Gilbert is immensely talented and has NFL written all over him but his off-field issues have made him not reach his potential.
A Georgia native, Gilbert now seeks a fresh start in the transfer portal looking for his fourth destination in five years.
