Nebraska football is still waiting to learn the fate of one of their players. Tight End Arik Gilbert has not yet had the NCAA rule on his eligibility waiver.

Head coach Matt Rhule provided the update on Gilbert’s status on Friday morning.

“It is still in progress. We are hoping before we head to Minnesota, we will have a little more finality on it. There have obviously been some twists and turns and things going back and forth, and out of respect for Arik, I have not really broadcasted all of those different things, but we are still looking for some finality, and everybody is working hard to get it done.”

Gilbert started his career at LSU before transferring to Georgia for two seasons. His best season came during his freshman year at LSU, where he had 35 catches for 368 yards and two touchdowns in eight games.
