NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • FOX SPORTS

Impact After posting back-to-back seasons with double-digit scoring at North Dakota State, Griesel hit the transfer market in hopes of playing his final collegiate season in power conference. Not only will he get his wish at Nebraska, but he appears to have locked down a starting wing spot. He led all starters in scoring and ended up with the second-most attempts from the field when it was all said and done. At the very least, this puts the newcomer on the fantasy radar in daily formats featuring Nebraska, or season-long leagues with a Big Ten emphasis.
