Above- Nebraska QB Casey Thompson launches a bomb to Trey Palmer in the first quarter. The play resulted in a 87-yard touchdown as the Huskers took a 7-0 lead over the Hawkeyes on Senior Day in Iowa City.

Trey Palmer announced on Twitter the following statement. "First and foremost, I would like to thank God for providing me with great opportunities to play the sport that is near and dear to my heart," Palmer said via a statement on his Instagram page. "To my family and friends that have supported me through challenging and successful times, thank you. To my LSU family and friends, purple and gold will forever run through my veins. I AM FROM LOUISIANA and helping people from my state is a priority of mine. To the city of Kentwood, it's our time now! The city of Kentwood, I love you and look forward to helping in every way I can — Kentwood will always be my main focus. Coach Scott Frost thank you for allowing me to demonstrate my talents and for the opportunity to play at the University of Nebraska. "Coach Mickey Joseph, you have played a pivital role in my development and I am grateful for your support, love and guidance. It has been an honor to be a part of your journey as much as you are a part of mine. Witnessing you go from being my position coach to my Head Coach was inspirational and I wish you much success! Coach Cassano, thank you. Husker fans, thank you for embracing me and my family at the University of Nebraska. There's no other fan base with your energy and love in that stadium. The "Husker! Power!" Chant still gives me chills. I am truly blessed! After careful consideration with my family and coaches, I've decided not to return to school and prepare for the 2023 NFL Draft."

In his only season at Nebraska, Trey Palmer became a Husker fan favorite. He broke the Nebraska single season receiving record at 1,043 yards. He became only the second Husker to eclipse the 1000 yard mark. Stanley Morgan, Jr. was the first. The Louisiana native came to Nebraska after three seasons at LSU, where he played in 28 games and totaled 458 receiving yards. In his final game against Iowa, Trey Palmer had 165 receiving yards and two touchdowns. “Husker fans, thank you for embracing me and my family at the University of Nebraska,” Palmer wrote in the Twitter post.
