Chasing 105: Tracking Nebraska Football's 2025 Roster

Nebraska football in 2025 will look different than anything seen in Lincoln in generations.

The Husker program, like all others at the Division I level, must have reduced roster to 105 before the 2025 season begins. That means an increase of activity in outgoing players via the transfer portal and few, if any, walk-on players.

Nebraska had 150 players on the roster at the beginning of the 2024 season. Since then, more than a dozen guys exhausted their eligibility and more than two-dozen players have hit the portal. The Huskers have also added 14 transfers and 20 high school signees.

That leaves Nebraska with 134 players (as of Jan. 8). More players can be added via the portal, and graduate transfer can leave anytime. There will also be another transfer portal window after the spring, meaning there is plenty of time for more movement.

Follow along below for each player by position group and how the total changes over the next several months.

Order is from oldest to youngest by class.
