In a significant move for Nebraska football, former Kentucky wide receiver Dane Key has announced his commitment to the Cornhuskers. Key, ranked as the No. 9 prospect in the NCAA transfer portal, brings elite talent and playmaking ability to Nebraska’s roster, providing a boost to the team’s offensive unit.
During his time at Kentucky, Key established himself as a reliable and dynamic target, showcasing his speed, route-running precision, and knack for making big plays. His decision to transfer comes after a strong season in which he solidified his reputation as one of the top receivers in the country.
Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule has been aggressive in retooling the roster, and Key’s addition reflects the program’s commitment to competing at the highest level. With Key joining the Cornhuskers, Nebraska gains a proven playmaker who can make an immediate impact and elevate their passing game in the 2025 season.
