Choosing the right college — and the right sport — was one of the biggest decisions of Jacob Bower’s life. One option: join the rugby team at Army in West Point on scholarship. Another: walk on to Nebraska football, paying his way through college. "I told (my mom) that I was going to get a scholarship so she wouldn’t have to pay for my school,” Bower said Tuesday, days after he made good on that promise.

Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule wanted to deliver a message to his team, and he had the perfect visual aid to get his point across. As he spoke about how growth can be gradual, Rhule showed the Nebraska football team images of former Husker offensive lineman Cam Jurgens. First in the slideshow was an image of Jurgens working out at a Nebraska camp, a photo in which the 240-pound high schooler was much leaner than he is today.

It’s even helped land some current Husker players. “There were a lot more people than I expected,” linebacker Willis McGahee IV said after the 2023 Spring Game.

Matt Rhule was ready to make a surprise announcement, even if those in his inner circle didn’t know it just yet. The Nebraska football head coach had decided that live football action would be part of NU’s final spring practice after all, slightly reversing course after having planned otherwise. Rhule’s late decision isn’t for publicity — Saturday’s events won’t be televised like a traditional scrimmage would be — but rather what he feels is best for a roster which faces cuts in the coming months.
