Breaking News: The Nebraska football team makes a mysterious change to its defense.

The Nebraska football program is setting up its roster for the upcoming season with the spring game right around the corner. However, many noticed something different about the Cornhuskers’ roster, as one defensive player wasn’t listed on the latest roster updat

.Steve Marik of Inside Nebraska has confirmed that defensive back Corey Collier Jr. of the Nebraska football team is not on the roster. The reason he’s not on the roster right now is not quite obvious.

“Corey Collier Jr., a safety for Nebraska, is no longer with the team, Inside Nebraska verified on Wednesday afternoon via a source. Wednesday at 4:30 p.m., Collier’s name was missing from the transfer portal.

Collier hasn’t contributed much during his time in college. Collier transferred to Nebraska football during the previous offseason, having only registered two tackles and a sack with the Florida Gators. In five games played while with the Cornhuskers, Corey Collier Jr. failed to register any stats. Collier was mostly a special teams player.

It’s unlikely that Collier’s loss will negatively impact the Cornhuskers in the long run. According to reports, the program signed ten defensive backs from the 2024 class and acquired Blye Hill via the transfer site. Having said that, the secondary will be fine for the Nebraska football team the next season.
