Nebraska Football Player Power Rankings: Colandrea is Still No. 1 but a Pick-Six Gets McDougle on the List

Anthony Colandrea remains the undisputed top player on Nebraska’s roster, maintaining his No. 1 ranking in the latest power rankings.

His dominance continues to anchor the Cornhuskers’ offense, with no signs of another quarterback stepping into his role anytime soon. Meanwhile, the defensive backfield has seen a shakeup, with Dwayne McDougle earning a spot on the list after a standout performance that included a game-changing pick-six.

His emergence has added depth to a unit already bolstered by the steady presence of Donovan Jones, who moved up one spot to No. 4.

Offensively, Vince Genatone has quietly become a key contributor, ranking at No. 9 after a breakout season.

The running back has proven highly efficient, scoring three touchdowns on just three receptions, while also providing reliable short-yardage options. On the receiving end, Kwazi Gilmer and Jacory Barney Jr.

continue to make their mark, with Barney’s ability to change field position as a punt returner proving invaluable—his 22-yard return against Maryland shifted momentum in Nebraska’s favor. Tight end Luke Lindenmeyer remains a consistent threat, though his impact is often overshadowed by the team’s deeper offensive playbook.
