Sam Orme - Available Saturday Orme (hamstring) is available for Saturday's game against Providence, according to Brian Christopherson of 247Sports.com.

Impact Orme has been working his way back from a hamstring injury and was initially tabbed as a game-time call, but in the end, he'll suit up and see minutes. Orme should be a reliable frontcourt option for Nebraska.

Sam Orme - Game-time call for Saturday Orme (hamstring) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Providence at Mohegan Sun, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Orme has yet to recover from a hamstring injury, but he's expected to try and play. Even if he does, he's a depth option in the frontourt, so his fantasy appeal shouldn't be very high.

Cale Jacobsen - Good start to 2026-27 campaign Jacobsen closed Monday's 106-64 victory over Le Moyne with 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals across 25 minutes.

Impact Nebraska needs Jacobsen to take a big step this season, and he's off to a great start. The guard was extremely efficient from the field, and contributed on the glass and as a passer as well. Now primed to be a full-time starter for the first time in his career, Jacobsen passed his first test with flying colors.

Pryce Sandfort - Picks up where he left off vs. Le Moyne Sandfort ended Monday's 106-64 win over Le Moyne with 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes.

Impact Though Sandfort was just 1-of-6 from downtown, he still managed to hit 20 points. That's scary considering he's relied heavily upon the three-point shot in recent seasons and connected on over 40 percent of his long-range shots in each of the previous two campaigns. Sandfort should be in for a monster year.

Sam Orme - Still not feeling right Orme is dealing with a hamstring injury and "didn't feel right" ahead of Monday's game against Le Moyne, according to Jake Bartecki of News Channel Nebraska.

Impact Orme was expected to see meaningful action in the regular-season opener, but Nebraska opted to play it safe instead. It remains to be seen whether the senior big man, who averaged 12.7 points per game in 2025-26, will be able to play against Providence on Saturday.

Sam Orme - Will play in regular-season opener Orme (hamstring) will play in Monday's game against Le Moyne, according to Robin Washut of On3.

Impact Orme will ease into action, logging limited minutes on Monday. Though the forward is unlikely to excel in Monday's game, he will attempt to impress, using it as a building block for a better role later in the 2026-27 season.

Sam Orme - Remains GTD for opener Orme (hamstring) will go through shootaround Monday and is a game-time decision for Nebraska's season opener against Le Moyne, Robin Washut of On3.com.

Impact Orme has missed Nebraska's exhibition slate while recovering from the hamstring issue, so his status will be worth monitoring ahead of his potential team debut. If available, the forward would provide additional frontcourt depth for the opener. The Belmont transfer averaged 12.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists.

Sam Orme - Making great progress Orme (hamstring) is making great progress in his recovery, according to Brian Christopherson of 247Sports.

Impact This is an encouraging update after Orme missed Nebraska's exhibition slate due to a hamstring issue. He has a week to recover before the team's regular-season opener against Le Moyne on Nov. 2. If he is cleared to suit up for the opener, the forward would add depth to the Cornhuskers' frontcourt.

Sam Orme - Out for Kansas State exhibition Orme (hamstring) is out for Nebraska's exhibition clash with Kansas State on Monday night, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Orme has missed Nebraska's entire exhibition slate this preseason, and that won't change against the Wildcats. The senior forward and transfer from Belmont who averaged 12.7 points and 5.0 rebounds last season, will look to return for the opener against Le Moyne on Nov. 2.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Sam Orme - Questionable for Monday Orme (hamstring) is recovering well but remains "very much questionable" for Monday's final exhibition against Kansas State, according to Robin Washut of On3.com.

Impact Orme appears to be making progress after missing Nebraska's earlier exhibition games, but his status for the final preseason contest remains uncertain. His availability Monday would offer a clearer sign of whether he'll be ready for the start of the regular season. Nebraska opens its season against Le Moyne on Monday, Nov. 2.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Sam Orme - Missing another exhibition game Orme (hamstring) is out for Friday's exhibition game against BYU, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Orme will miss yet another exhibition match as the Cornhuskers prepare for the season. The senior big man will aim to make a return for Nebraska's next preseason matchup on Oct. 26 versus Kansas State.

Henry Burt - Practicing with Cornhuskers Burt (knee) is practicing for Nebraska, per Wilson Moore of the Beatrice Daily Sun.

Impact Burt missed all of last season due to an injury, but he is trending toward being available this season as he's an active participant in fall practices. The 6-foot-8 forward decided to return to Nebraska for the upcoming campaign, where he will look to compete for minutes in the frontcourt, though it is uncertain what role he will have given his extended absence.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Cale Jacobsen - Starting in exhibition game Friday Jacobsen (ankle) is starting in Friday's exhibition game against St. Louis, per Mike Sautter of Hurrdat Sports.

Impact Jacobsen was previously reported to return soon, and he is now good to go after dealing with an ankle sprain. The guard will start in the exhibition game, looking to vie for minutes this upcoming season after averaging 4.6 points and 2.6 rebounds across 19.7 minutes per game with the Cornhuskers in 2025-26.

Cale Jacobsen - Should return soon Jacobsen (ankle) should be able to return soon from his injury, according to Robin Washut of On3.

Impact Jacobsen is dealing with a sprained ankle, an injury described as "mild" but not healthy enough to say his physical status is at 100 percent. Nebraska's team has three exhibition games for him to test himself, the first coming up Friday against Saint Louis.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Sam Orme - Out for exhibition game Orme (hamstring) is out for Friday's exhibition game against Saint Louis, according to Robin Washut of On3.

Impact It appears that going into Nebraska's preseason, Orme had been dealing with a hamstring injury, as Washut indicated that the senior is recovering well. With the Cornhuskers only in preseason action thus far, they will not push their luck by using him immediately. The team has multiple exhibition games anyway, their first of two remaining matchups scheduled for Oct. 16 at BYU.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Cale Jacobsen - Set for important role Jacobsen is expected to be an important piece for Nebraska in 2026-27, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact The senior guard appears positioned for a meaningful role entering the season. Even if that impact is not fully box-score driven, Rothstein's report points to steady rotation value for Nebraska. Last season, he averaged 4.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 19.7 minutes off the bench in Lincoln.
