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 62 players Saturday night against Southern California. Notably, true freshman quarterback TJ Lateef saw his first action since the Houston Christian game. With Dylan Raiola out for the remainder of the 2025 season,* Lateef is now likely to burn his redshirt.
*To answer a question I saw online this weekend: No, Raiola is not eligible to receive a medical redshirt for the 2025 season. He has participated in too many games.
With three regular-season games remaining, we’re starting to see clarity on who will – and will not – redshirt in 2025. As a side note, some of the players with games remaining are likely out for the remainder of the season with injury.
(Players who have participated in five or more games in 2025)
(Players who will not be able to redshirt in 2025 if they appear in another regular-season game)
(Players who can play in one more regular-season game and maintain their redshirt)
(Players who can play in two more regular season-games and maintain their redshirt)
(Players who can play in three more regular-season games and maintain their redshirt)
(Players who have yet to appear in a game. They can play in up to four regular-season games and maintain their redshirt)
(Players who entered the season having already redshirted at Nebraska or elsewhere)
