Who's Leaving? 2024/25 version

[Husker in WI]

I'm assuming after the bowl game is when the vast majority of the walkons are going to be told they no longer have a spot?  I believe there are still 47 on the roster.  But, that includes a couple kickers that probably are not going to be asked to leave (Koch, Hohl).

By then, they should have a clearer idea of what they can get from the portal.  If there's still room under the 105, maybe a few would be kept for depth and needed positions?

I'm sure they've all been told where they stand. Some might just stop playing football, some might try to change the coaches minds in spring ball - I don't think the 105 limit applies until the fall. Especially some of the older walk-ons, might be worth sticking around and finishing your degree. Get some spring ball film to send out, no portal timing restrictions as a graduate, and emerge at a less busy time. 

They aren't going to be offered any significant amount of money from other schools anyway, so might as well take advantage of the training table here while they can and then figure out where to go when they have to. The only reason to go in early would be to claim a spot somewhere, but the FCS schools aren't filling up yet.

Or, like you said, if a player feels his time is done, no need to go through the work of off season weights and spring ball.

I would guess there will be a lot then.  

But it also depends on what their plans are.  If they're wanting to keep playing somewhere else, they should definitely go.  There may be some that decide to stay at UNL and maybe hang around the team as long as they can, then hang up the cleats.

I'm not sure if we'll get a bunch of announcements either.  Right now the only players on the 2025 roster on Huskers.com are the incoming freshmen and transfers.  So I'm not sure when they'll really show an updated roster.

You believe Hohl is going to be asked to leave?

No.  I thought he kicked well this year when he had good snaps.

That's what I think too but I thought his name was on the list of kickers being asked to move on. Did I misread?

If you're asking about my post, I was saying that Koch and Hohl are probably NOT going to be asked to leave.

I don't know if we'll have room to keep him, but definitely Hoffken.

Can't keep everyone got to get down to 105. If you aren't going to contribute within a year or two good chance you are gone just the way it is now
