2025 Nebraska Football Redshirt Tracker: Game 6 Update

This is an unofficial tabulation of games Nebraska players have appeared in during the 2025 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 60 players against Maryland. Sophomore linebacker Willis McGahee IV did not travel to Maryland. On Monday, Matt Rhule said McGahee plans to redshirt. It is unclear whether true freshman linebacker Pierce Mooberry will join him. Punter Archie Wilson joined the list of players who have surpassed the four-game threshold, meaning they will no longer be able to redshirt this season.
