Nebraska Football Releases First 2025 Season Depth Chart

Nebraska has released its 2025 football depth chart ahead of the season opener against Cincinnati, highlighting ongoing battles on the offensive line with multiple players competing for starting tackle positions, as confirmed by offensive line coach Donovan Raiola. The Huskers enter the third season under coach Matt Rhule with higher expectations following a bowl victory last season, aiming to build on improved performances. Key players include Emmett Johnson poised to lead the rushing attack and sophomore quarterback Dylan Raiola expected to surpass 3,000 passing yards under offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen’s system. The defense features promising contributors like Ochoa, who is poised to rotate significantly at the Jack linebacker spot behind transfer Dasan McCullough. Nebraska’s offensive line boasts considerable experience with seven linemen having at least 10 Power Conference starts, a level of depth matched only by Penn State in the Big Ten, and far exceeding that of their opener opponent Cincinnati. These factors suggest Nebraska is positioning itself for a stronger showing in 2025 with a blend of veteran leadership and emerging talent across key positions.
