A recent mock draft has four Nebraska Cornhuskers being selected on day three of the annual event. Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports has two Huskers projected for selection in round five and two Huskers projected for round seven of the NFL draft.
Nebraska did not have any players selected in the 2024 NFL draft. The last time a Husker was selected was in 2023 when Ochaun Mathis was taken by the Los Angeles Rams, and Trey Plamer was taken by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the sixth round.
The Huskers have had two players selected first overall in the draft's history. In 1937, the Philadelphia Eagles selected Sam Francis, and the New England Patriots took Irving Fryer in 1984.
Nebraska last had four or more players selected in the NFL draft in 2016. That year, Maliek Collins, Vincent Valentine, Alex Lewis, and Andy Janovich were selected.
The 2025 NFL draft will take place April 24-26 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Find a breakdown of where CBS Sports believes the four Huskers will be selected and which teams will call their names below.
Ty Robinson enters the NFL draft after a successful five-year career in Lincoln. In 60 games, he totaled 134 tackles with 27 for loss and 12.0 sacks. He ended the 2024 season as a third-team All-Big Ten member.

Tommi Hill comes to the 2025 NFL draft after an up-and-down collegiate experience. He spent his freshman year with the Arizona State Sun Devils before joining the Cornhuskers. He began his Nebraska football career at corner before a sudden and strange switch to wide receiver. He would eventually return to corner. In 41 career college football games, he recorded 44 tackles and five interceptions with one touchdown.

Fidone came to Nebraska with a lot of fanfare. He was a four-star recruit and the 2nd overall tight end in the class of 2021. After injuries plagued the start of his career, he was able to find his footing once Matt Rhule arrived on campus. He ended his Nebraska career with 633 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 26 games.

Neyor only spent one year with the Cornhuskers after spending his first four years with the Wyoming Cowboys and the Texas Longhorns. In his one year as a Husker, he played in 12 games and had 34 receptions for 455 yards and five touchdowns. Neyor then planned to transfer for a third time to the Louisville Cardinals but would change his mind shortly thereafter and commit to the draft.
