Nebraska Gives Back


Jack Hoffman is a 7 year old boy battling with brain cancer.  Last year then running back, Rex Burkhead, visited with Jack and got to know him and offered him encouragement.  This year Nebraska has decided to take Jack's encouragement and experience with the program to the next level.  During a spring scrimmage they gave Jack a #22 jersey (Burkhead's #) and QB Taylor Martinez handed him the ball allowing him to run 69 yards with the help of several Nebraska blockers to the endzone for a touchdown.  The entire team then surrounded Jack to celebrate with him.  If you haven't seen the video its worth an internet search.  Very cool moment for Jack and gesture by the entire Nebraska football program.

What does your program do to give back to the community?
