The 2025 NFL Draft took place in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Thursday through Saturday, and two Nebraska players heard their names called. Six others signed as undrafted free agents.
Here is a list of each player along with some statistics from their last season at Nebraska and information about the Combine.
Ty Robinson, Defensive Tackle, Fourth Round, Pick 111, Philadelphia Eagles
In his senior season, Robinson tallied seven sacks, 37 tackles and 12.5 tackles for loss. He also recorded one safety, four pass breakups and one blocked field goal. The Gilbert, Arizona, native was among the top ten in the Big Ten in sacks and tackles-for-loss and led the Huskers in those categories.
At the NFL combine, Robinson ran a 4.83 in the 40-yard dash, which was the fastest time in his group.
“I just think the world of Ty Robinson, honestly,” Coach Matt Rhule said. “I just think the absolute world of him. Guys like Ty Robinson are why guys like me coach. Just that daily interaction that daily relationship, and the great thing about Ty is he lets me be me. No one practices harder than Ty. He comes to practice every day like it’s a game, and so it makes it fun to coach.”
Thomas Fidone II, Tight End, Seventh round, Pick 219, New York Giants
Fidone was the first Nebraska tight end drafted since 2002 (Tracey Wistrom). In Fidone’s final season at Nebraska, he recorded 36 receptions for 373 yards. Fidone led the way with five receptions and accounted for 50 receiving yards during the Pinstripe Bowl win over Boston College.
The Lewis Central High School (Council Bluffs, Iowa) graduate missed his first two seasons due to ACL tears. He led Nebraska with four receiving touchdowns and was second with 25 receptions in 2023, totaling 260 yards.
“Thomas Fidone had two of the toughest injuries and he’s fought back and he’s carried it on his shoulders and he’s so loyal,” Rhule said. “He plays hard and his best football is ahead of him. I’m excited for him.”
Isaiah Neyor, Wide Receiver, Undrafted, Signed with the San Francisco 49rs
In his one and only season with the Huskers, he had a team-leading five receiving touchdowns. Neyor had 34 catches for 455 receiving yards. The Fort Worth, Texas, native played in 12 total games, starting nine.
Ben Scott, Center, Undrafted, signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Scott played for the Huskers for two years after transferring from Arizona State in 2023. The Honolulu, Hawaii, native played in all 13 games. Scott received All Big Ten honorable mention honors in back-to-back seasons.
John Bullock, Linebacker, Undrafted, Signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Isaac Gifford, Defensive Back, Signed with the Carolina Panthers
Gifford led the team in tackles with 73. The Lincoln native also recorded four tackles for loss during his senior season. Gifford concluded his time at Nebraska with 240 total tackles, which is good for third-highest tackles for defensive backs.
