The Nebraska Cornhuskers have made a key addition to their roster, securing a commitment from sharpshooting forward Sam Orme. The Belmont University transfer announced his decision on Thursday, giving Head Coach Fred Hoiberg a much-needed perimeter threat for the upcoming season.

Orme arrives in Lincoln with a proven track record as a high-level scorer. Last season at Belmont, he averaged 12.7 points and five rebounds per game, showcasing the consistent production the Huskers seek. His shooting prowess was on full display in February when he dropped a career-high 22 points on an efficient 8-of-12 shooting in a win over Drake.

This pickup is particularly significant as it marks Nebraska's first addition from the transfer portal this cycle, coming just a day after forward Berke Buyuktuncel entered it. Orme fills a specific need as a stretch-four, a player who can space the floor with his outside shot and create driving lanes for his teammates. His ability to knock down shots will be crucial in the Big Ten's physical landscape.

While this is a solid start, expect the Huskers to remain active in the portal as they continue to build a competitive roster. Adding a veteran scorer like Sam Orme is a strong first step in that process, injecting immediate offensive firepower into the program.
