Nebraskas Redshirt Situation for the 2025 Season: A Closer LookAs the Nebraska football team approaches the end of the 2022 season, the focus turns to the redshirt situation for the upcoming years. With just two regular-season games left, the team is getting a clearer picture of who will and wont redshirt in 2025.At the start of the season, 36 out of 125 players had not yet used their redshirt eligibility. However, due to injuries and other factors, several players have already appeared in five or more games, making them ineligible to redshirt in 2025. This list includes freshmen like Dawson Merritt and Isaiah Mozee, as well as sophomores such as Dylan Raiola and Carter Nelson.On the other hand, players who have appeared in two games, like Jackson Carpenter and Mario Buford, will now use their redshirt season. The same goes for Jeremiah Jones, who has played in one game. Many players, including Julian Marks and Tyson Terry, have not played at all and will also redshirt, preserving a year of eligibility for future seasons.Coaches must make tough decisions about player usage, especially with an eye on future eligibility. For example, if T. J. Lateef starts against Penn State, he will burn his redshirt. Freshmen Conor Booth, Caden VerMaas, and Bryson Webber have each played in three games, meaning they can appear in just one more regular-season game to keep their redshirt status.In summary, the Nebraska football team is carefully managing its redshirt situation for the 2025 season, balancing the need to win now with the importance of preserving eligibility for the future.The Daily News Now! - Every city.
