2025 Nebraska Football Redshirt Tracker: The Final 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 63 players against Iowa, tied with the Minnesota game for the most in conference play. As expected, there was no change to the redshirt status of the two players who had been holding at four games (linebackers Willis McGahee IV and Pierce Mooberry). They – like the rest of the roster - can play in the bowl game without impacting their eligibility. 

Thirty-seven Huskers appeared in every game in 2025. Just three - Cortez Mills Jr., Isaiah Mozee and Kade Pietrzak – were true freshmen.
