Jeremiah Jones - Moves to defense Jones moved from wide receiver to defensive line this offseason, Sam McKewon of the Omaha World-Herald reports.

Impact Jones, who appeared in one game last season as a freshman, has made a significant change during the offseason by moving to the other side of the ball. Head coach Matt Rhule said Jones was pass rushing as a scout teamer last season and had success, so he recommended that Jones make the change. Jones is now officially listed as a defensive lineman on the team's website. He certainly has the build for pass rushing as the redshirt freshman weighs 230 pounds and stands at six feet and four inches tall.

Carter Nelson - Available for fall camp Nelson (undisclosed) is cleared for Nebraska's fall camp, according to Brian Christopherson of 247Sports.com.

Impact Nelson was sidelined during Nebraska's spring practices as he was recovering from an undisclosed injury. He now heads into fall camp as the No. 2 tight end behind Luke Lindenmeyer, who had a breakout 2025 campaign. Nelson will still compete for snaps, but he will need to impress during fall practices to earn a significant role in the Cornhuskers' offense.

Janiran Bonner - Cleared for Cornhuskers' practice Bonner (knee) will be ready for Nebraska's fall camp, according to Brian Christopherson of 247Sports.com.

Impact Bonner missed the Cornhuskers' spring practices while recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in the 2025 season opener. The wideout is now fully healthy for fall camp as he looks to make his way up the depth chart. Bonner has been with Nebraska since 2023, though he has yet to carve out a significant role in the passing game.

Mekhi Nelson - Ready for fall camp Head coach Matt Rhule said Thursday during Big Ten Media Days that Nelson (not injury related) will be full-go for Nebraska's fall camp, according to Steve Marik of Rivals.com.

Impact Nelson's availability for fall camp was initially in question following a June arrest, but he has been cleared to return to practice after the charges were dropped. He is expected to compete for Nebraska's starting running back job alongside Isaiah Mozee and Jamal Rule. The running back saw a decent workload last season, recording 147 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries, which could give him a slight advantage in the competition due to his familiarity with the Cornhuskers' offense.
