Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule had said that the program was looking to get Gilbert on the field.
"I'm just going to be really disappointed if he doesn't get it," Rhule said earlier this month. "(He's) the most deserving young man. If he doesn't get it, they shouldn't even have the waiver. The NCAA should not even have the waiver if he doesn't get it. But there's a lot of parties involved. There's a lot of entities out there that don't always have people's best interest at heart."
Nebraska opens its season Thursday at Minnesota.
