Yes redshirts count. You count all the freshmen in the class so right now it would appear we are over by a few, but some of those freshmen won't be enrolled until summer, so technically we aren't over *yet* until they get here. So in other words, expect a few more exits after spring.
Until everybody that was playing in 2020 runs out of eligibility. Likely 2024-2025 for most. May get a few with medical RS make it to 2026.
All of that and the 1st game on the schedule for 2023.
I’m going to go out on a limb and make a prediction. Jeff Sims will never make much of an impact at Nebraska. That new coach will not pamper him and guarantee starts for him so occasionally he will do something good, but mostly talk of him will be about some unspecified injury and hopes that he will be back helping Nebraska soon.
He won’t last long anywhere if there is a viable QB backup or decent competition. We just never had anyone better or experienced enough to replace him with when he had bad games or stretches of inconsistency.
