RB Markese Stepp lands at Nebraska after transfer from USC

Associated Press

— Running back Markese Stepp has transferred from Southern California to Nebraska, strengthening an area of need for the Cornhuskers following the departures of Dedrick Mills and Wan’Dale Robinson. The 6-foot, 235-pounder appeared in five of the Trojans’ six games and was the team’s third-leading rusher with 45 carries for 165 yards and three touchdowns. Mills, the Huskers’ second-leading rusher, tweeted a couple hours after Stepp’s announcement that he would enter the NFL draft. Robinson was the Huskers’ primary running back when Mills was out two games and most of another because of injury.
