Deshon Singleton's time at Nebraska has been interesting, especially when there was a question if he would even be on the 2025 roster. However, after a court ruling that reconsidered Junior College years for eligibility, Singleton was able to return this season, and he has been a huge help to Nebraska's secondary.
Singleton's performance against Michigan State was his best this season, so good that it earned him Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week. With his six tackles and two interceptions, Singleton turned in his best game of the season and the best game of anyone on the Cornhuskers' defense in the comeback win against the Spartans.
