Tim Wagner, a 6-3 guard from Galesville, Wisconsin joined the team as a walk-on.
On November 5, 2013, just one day after the Cornhuskers defeated in-state opponent Nebraska-Kearney in an exhibition game, walk-on Jordan Tyrance informed head coach Tim Miles that he was leaving the team due to personal reasons, stating, '"I just had some personal things that I needed to take care of. I love the sport, I mean collegiate sports get tough, and it's a big time commitment.'" Besides having balanced homework and practice, Tyrance was also caring for his two-year-old daughter Kyalinn. '"I had some family I need to spend time with, a daughter, and just needed to handle my home stuff. She's my life [and] she deserves to have a father that's around, and watching her grow up.'"
Deverell Biggs did not play and was absent from the team during their win over Minnesota on January 26, 2013. Biggs tweeted that his absence was due to "personal reasons." On January 27, 2014 Head Coach Miles dismissed Biggs from the team. According to sources Biggs missed a film session on the day of the Minnesota game, but according to Miles, no single incident led to Biggs' dismissal.
