Neyor had previously opted out of Nebraska's bowl game against Boston College in order to prepare for the NFL draft. In a now-deleted social media post, he said that "football has been more than just a game" for him.

"It's been a source of growth, discipline, and purpose," Neyor said. "Along the journey, I've faced some adversity but through those challenges, I've learned the power of perseverance and keeping faith, knowing that every obstacle is an opportunity to grow stronger."
