Overview
- Belmont forward Sam Orme committed to Nebraska on Thursday in a social media announcement reported by local and national outlets.
- Orme averaged 12.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists last season for Belmont while shooting 55.9% from the field and 39.7% from three on 48 makes.
- He has two seasons of eligibility and is expected to compete for a starting frontcourt role as a stretch shooter who can space the floor.
