2003 (Senior)
Chad Buller played in all 13 games for the Huskers as a senior, serving as Demorrio Williams' backup at Will linebacker.

Buller had a season-high five tackles against Utah State and Texas A&M, and had three tackles in three other games (Southern Miss, Troy State, Texas). Buller also had a pass breakup against Iowa State.

Buller played in all 14 games, primarily as a special teams stalwart. The reserve linebacker was a member of Nebraska's punt and kickoff coverage teams. He finished the season with eight tackles, including a career-best three stops against Kansas. He had two tackles at Iowa State.
Before Nebraska (Henderson HS)
Buller starred as a running back and linebacker at Henderson High School, where he rushed for more than 4,000 yards in his career, including 1,865 yards and 26 touchdowns as a senior. He was the Grand Island Independent Athlete of the Year as a senior and an all-state pick both athletically and academically.
