Sophomore running back Braylon Heard is reportedly close to leaving the Nebraska football program. A news source from Heard’s hometown of Youngstown, Ohio first reported Heard’s desire to transfer late Monday night. That news came as a surprise to Bo Pelini, who told Nebraska media outlets he hadn’t heard such a thing himself. Former Husker teammate Aaron Green appeared to confirm the transfer on Twitter yesterday, but there’s been no word from Heard himself. Heard carried 52 times for 357 yards and three touchdowns last season.
