Productive, physical Nebraska linebacker who played through adversity
Rose-Ivey was a high-motor Nebraska linebacker whose calling cards were toughness, production, and leadership: he set the Huskers’ freshman tackles record with 66 in 2013 and finished with 163 career tackles, including 70 as a senior in 2016 despite battling injuries earlier in his career. He was a dependable Blackshirt with clear run-stopping value, flashing range and disruption with 17 career tackles for loss. Beyond the box score, he was known for resilience, intensity, and maturity, which matter if you want a steady, physical defender who can anchor a defense and set a tone.
