Nebraska reveals 10 Huskers earning coveted single-digit jerseys

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – Nebraska named the 10 football players who will be wearing single digit jerseys this season in a social media post on Tuesday.

The list includes:

• Nash Hutmacher #0 (Sr.) Defensive Lineman
• Jimari Butler #1 (Jr.) Defensive Lineman
• Isaac Gifford #2 (Sr.) Defensive Back
• Marques Buford Jr. #3 (Jr.) Defensive Back
• Jahmal Banks #4 (Sr.) Wide Receiver
• John Bullock #5 (Sr.) Linebacker
• Tommi Hill #6 (Sr.) Defensive Back
• Malcolm Hartzog #7 (Jr.) Defensive Back
• DeShon Singleton #8 (Sr.) Defensive Back
• Ty Robinson #9 (Sr.) Defensive Lineman

Matt Rhule introduced the single digit jerseys last year and had the team vote for players who deserved the single digit jerseys.

Once a player was voted to get a single digit jersey, they were able to pick the number they wanted that remained untaken with numbers zero through nine being used. There is no offense / defense repeats therefore only 10 Huskers earned the single digits.
