Hartzog started the first two games of the 2025 season before electing to undergo season-ending surgery for a groin injury.
He plans to use his redshirt, giving him one more season of eligibility.
In Nebraska’s 20-17 win over Cincinnati in the first game of the season, Hartzog picked off Brendan Sorsby in the end zone to help lift the Huskers over the Bearcats.
