Sam Orme, a sophomore forward from Carmel, Indiana, has committed to the University of Nebraska after entering the NCAA Transfer Portal. Previously with Belmont University, Orme averaged 12.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game last season, earning a spot on the second-team All-Missouri Valley Conference. He demonstrated exceptional shooting skills, hitting nearly 56% of his field goals and 39.7% from three-point range, including a career-high 22 points in a game against Drake.
