Nebraska football’s spring practices commenced on March 25, 2025, with head coach Matt Rhule addressing the media after the team’s second session. The initial practices, conducted in helmets as per NCAA regulations, emphasized teaching and evaluating players’ abilities rather than assigning roles. Coach Rhule stated, “There is no depth chart right now. The job is not to figure out who is going to play, but who can play.”
The team is scheduled to don full pads starting Thursday, March 27, marking a transition to more intensive drills. This progression allows for a deeper assessment of player skills and team dynamics. Notably, Coach Rhule has opted to forgo the traditional spring game, citing concerns over player tampering during the transfer portal window.
In addition to Coach Rhule’s insights, running back Emmett Johnson and defensive back Marques Buford Jr. shared their perspectives, highlighting a strong sense of veteran leadership and a seamless integration of new players into the team’s rhythm
