The Nebraska Cornhuskers have announced their spring football game replacement. The Husker Games will take place on Saturday, April 26, allowing fans to preview Nebraska football, volleyball and soccer teams for the 2025 season.
Rhule explained in early February why Nebraska would not continue with a traditional spring game for 2025.
«The word ‘tampering’ doesn’t exist anymore. It’s just an absolute free open common market. I don’t necessarily want to open up to the outside world and have people watch our guys and say, ‘He looks like a pretty good player. Let’s go get him.«
On the football field, the Huskers will feature 7-on-7 games and skills competitions similar to the NFL’s Pro Bowl games. Nebraska greats of the past will also participate in various skills competitions. There will also be a women’s flag football game between Midland University and the UNL all-star intramural team.
Nebraska volleyball will also participate in the day’s festivities. The Huskers will face the Kansas Jayhawks in a spring match with a 6:30 p.m. CT start time.
The soccer team will host a spring exhibition match against the Wyoming Cowboys. The game starts at 4:30 p.m. CT with free admission.
