— Redshirt freshman Jason Maciejczak is listed as an offensive lineman on the current roster update, while redshirt freshman lineman Mason Goldman is listed on the defensive side of the ball.
— Veteran Nebraska guard Ethan Piper is no longer listed on the roster. Piper suffered a serious season-ending knee injury in the win over Northwestern and was seen on the sidelines toward the end of the regular season in a wheelchair watching his teammates going through warmups.
— Nebraska made official the move of former defensive lineman Ru’Quan Buckley from the defensive side of the ball to the offensive side of the ball.
Rhule said in November that he believes Buckley “is going to be a dynamic guard.”
— Nebraska redshirt freshmen Jeremiah Charles and Brice Turner are both listed as defensive backs. Charles and Turner spent time on both sides of the ball before transitioning over to defensive back late in the season in 2023. Defensive backs coach Evan Cooper and wide receivers coach Garret McGuire had been vocal in the fall with claiming both of the players for their respective side of the ball.
— Senior wide receiver Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda remains on the roster after suffering a season-ending knee injury last year against Minnesota.
