Former Nebraska wide receiver Jaidyn Doss has taken a major step in determining the next chapter of his collegiate football career. After entering the NCAA transfer portal earlier this offseason, Doss has now narrowed his list of potential destinations to just two programs. While the specific schools have not yet been made public, sources close to the situation suggest that both are Power Five programs with a need at the wide receiver position.
Doss, a former three-star recruit out of Missouri, joined the Cornhuskers as part of their 2023 signing class. Coming out of Raymore-Peculiar High School, he was regarded as a dynamic and versatile athlete capable of playing multiple offensive positions. He chose Nebraska over offers from schools like Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas State, citing then-head coach Matt Rhule’s vision for the program and his belief in early playing time as key reasons.
However, Doss’s freshman year in Lincoln didn’t go quite as planned. Limited playing opportunities, combined with changes in offensive schemes and increased competition on the depth chart, prompted the young receiver to re-evaluate his future. In April 2025, he officially entered the transfer portal, becoming one of several Nebraska players to seek new opportunities amid the program’s ongoing rebuild.
Since then, Doss has received interest from a variety of schools, both in the Big Ten and beyond. His ability to contribute both on offense and special teams has made him an attractive option for programs looking to add immediate impact players. Standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing around 195 pounds, Doss combines solid size with quick acceleration and reliable hands—traits that made him a standout in high school and still give him significant upside at the collegiate level.
As of mid-July, Doss has taken visits to both of his final schools and is reportedly weighing multiple factors, including offensive fit, coaching stability, and the opportunity to make an early contribution. He is expected to announce his final decision before the end of the month, giving him enough time to enroll for summer classes and join fall camp with his new team.
The transfer portal has continued to reshape college football, and Doss’s situation highlights how even talented young players sometimes need a second stop to find the right fit. With multiple years of eligibility remaining, Doss has plenty of time to develop and make an impact at his next school. While his time at Nebraska may have been short-lived, he leaves with valuable experience and a renewed focus on realizing his full potential elsewhere.
Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see where the Missouri native lands. Whether he ends up staying in the Midwest or heading to a program further from home, Jaidyn Doss remains a name to watch in the 2025 season and beyond.
