2025 Nebraska Football Redshirt Tracker: Game 11 Update

This is an unofficial tabulation of games Nebraska players have appeared in during the 2025 football season.

NCAA rules allow a player to maintain his redshirt season of eligibility if he plays in no more than four regular-season games. Bowl games, conference championships and playoff games do not count against a player’s four games.

At the start of the 2025 season, 36 of Nebraska’s 125 players had not utilized their redshirt season.

Nebraska used 59 players against Penn State. The most notable development was that freshman quarterback TJ Lateef played in his fifth game, ending his chance to redshirt in 2025. Beyond that, there were several changes in the starting lineups. Cameron Lenhardt got his first start since the Maryland game. Defensive linemen Riley Van Poppel, Kade Pietrzak and Gabe Moore all made their first starts of the season.

With one regular-season game remaining, the decisions on who will and will not redshirt in 2025 have mostly been made. There are only two players - Pierce Mooberry and Willis McGahee IV - who could potentially change their redshirt status on Black Friday. Neither is expected to play

As a side note, some of the players with games remaining are likely out for the remainder of the season with injury.
