LINCOLN — Nebraska’s search for receivers has taken it to the graduate transfer market and former Miami Hurricane Lawrence Cager.

The 6-foot-5, 218-pound Cager could be a big-bodied, red-zone threat the Huskers lack.

A four-star receiver in the 2015 recruiting class, Cager caught 21 passes for 374 yards and six touchdowns last season for the Hurricanes, which lost head coach Mark Richt to retirement. All five of Cager’s red-zone catches were touchdowns. He’d have one season left of eligibility.

Cager told The World-Herald he likes Nebraska’s fan base, quarterback Adrian Martinez and how the Huskers used Stanley Morgan, who broke a NU record for career catches and posted the school’s first 1,000-yard season.

“The fan love is unmatched,” said Cager, who went to high school in Towson, Maryland.

He’s also looking at Oregon, Iowa State, Penn State, Georgia and Maryland. Cager plans to make a decision in “a month or so” and arrive in the summer.
