Grant Buda’s best value is the little stuff: trusted, local, and relentlessly dependable
Grant Buda is a Nebraska-grown linebacker whose calling card has been toughness, football IQ, and elite academic/work habits rather than headline stats; he was a 94-tackle senior at Lincoln Southwest, earned three Academic All-Big Ten honors, and has been praised for consistently grading well in camp and being the kind of teammate coaches love. In the 2025 season opener against UTEP, he recorded 1 tackle, but his broader appeal is as a high-character depth piece who understands his role, plays with urgency, and fits a program built on discipline and detail.
