Picks Wildcats Ervin will transfer to Kansas State, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com reports.
Enters transfer portal Ervin entered the transfer portal Monday, Pete Nakos of On3 reports.
Impact It is unclear which of Ervin's 2021 and 2023 seasons he redshirted, but the running back enters the transfer portal with one year of collegiate eligibility regardless. At the very least, he is a proven complementary running back who can record some carries as a backup option.

Scores twice in opener Ervin Jr. recorded six carries for 24 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 40-7 victory versus UTEP.
Impact Ervin first found the end zone on a three-yard run in the second quarter, with his second score coming on a one-yard push in the third period. Despite the redzone success, the junior running back totaled just six attempts on the day, indicating that his role within the offense may not be as secure as he may hope. Ervin's next chance to earn opportunities will come against Colorado on Saturday.

Dealing with toe injury Ervin didn't play Friday against Rutgers due to a toe injury, Sam McKewon of the Omaha World-Herald reports.
Impact Coach Mickey Joseph said he didn't feel like Ervin was "ready to go" due to the toe injury, and the running back's status for Saturday's game against Purdue remains unclear. Before being held out, Ervin was beginning to carve out a role in the backfield, rushing 13 times for 81 yards over his past two appearances.

Seeing very minimal action Ervin (undisclosed) has tallied two carries for 1 yard on 11 total snaps over the last two games.
Impact Ervin has yet to see any meaningful involvement on offense since missing the season opener against Northwestern. The redshirt freshman had accumulated 37 carries for 124 yards and two touchdowns over four games last year before suffering a season-ending injury. Anthony Grant looks to have a firm grasp on the top job, while Ervin's role has shrunk to nearly zero.

Part of committee again Ervin rushed six times for 17 yards in Saturday's blowout win over Fordham.
Impact While Ervin was the first back to receive a touch Saturday, it was Markese Stepp who would up with the vast majority and turned in 101 rushing yards on 18 carries. This could signal a changing of the guard moving forward and it will be worth keeping an eye out for the depth chart ahead of Week 2.

33 yards in start Ervin had 12 carries for 33 yards against Illinois.
Impact Ervin drew the start for the Cornhuskers and saw the most carries of any Nebraska back, but quarterback Adrian Martinez paced the run game with 17 rushes for 111 yards. The freshman was ineffective with his carries, averaging 2.8 yards per carry. Nebraska may still be sorting out its running back rotation but Ervin figures to be part of the plans moving forward.

Projected starter for opener Ervin is the projected starting running back for Saturday's game against Illinois, Abby Barmore of HuskerOnline.com reports.
Impact Ervin appears to have come out on top in the three-way battle with Sevion Morrison and Markese Stepp during fall camp. The Huskers have publicly mentioned they are looking for one man to handle a workload of at least 20 carries per game, meaning Ervin could be seeing a significant amount of touches as a freshman if he can hold onto the top spot moving forward.

Impact The Huskers staff is reportedly looking for a lead dog to handle north of 20 carries per contest, so the winner of the battle in Nebraska's backfield could gain immediate viability in fantasy formats. Ervin has impressed as a true freshman and it seems more likely either Ervin or Sevion Morrison will have that role come Saturday. Reps in warmups could provide a better indication of who will garner the first reps out of the backfield.
