Borders played just one season for the Huskers after spending his first two years at Florida. The backup played all 12 games for NU last season, recording nine tackles.

On the defensive side, safety Omar Brown and cornerback Quinton Newsome both signed with the Broncos and safety Phalen Sanford joined the Raiders. Offensive guard Nouredin Nouili agreed to terms with the Saints. Long snapper Marco Ortiz will try out with the Chargers.
