Key Players to Watch This Season

Nebraska’s success hinges on several standout performers who have elevated their play early in the season.

Quarterback – Dylan Raiola

In his sophomore year, Raiola has improved significantly in decision-making and deep-ball accuracy. He currently leads the Big Ten in completion percentage (69.4%) and passer rating (162.3).

Running Back – Anthony Grant

A transfer from Georgia, Grant brings physicality and speed. Through five games, he has rushed for 487 yards and five touchdowns, averaging 5.3 yards per carry.

Defensive Star – Garrett Nelson, LB

Nelson leads the team in tackles (48) and has two forced fumbles. His ability to disrupt opposing offenses makes him a potential All-Big Ten candidate.
