1 day ago | huskercorner.com | Oliver VanDervoort

Nebraska football is close to naming the new “Voice of the Huskers” after a wide-reaching search. Following the passing of Greg Sharpe earlier this year, the Nebraska football program is reluctantly moving forward with a search for his replacement this fall. It appears the program is close to finding that person who will be calling games as the "Voice of the Huskers" this fall.

Nebraska football will host a top tight end target for a key official visit starting May 16. The Nebraska football team is making some serious moves on the recruiting front this spring. That includes hosting one of the Huskers' top tight-end prospects in, Luke Sorensen. The Huskers are due to host the Servite (Anaheim, CA), a 3-star prospect, this weekend, but that will be the next step in winning over a commitment from the talented athlete.

A former Notre Dame football walk-on impressed at Steelers camp and earned his shot at the NFL. The NFL comes calling for former Notre Dame football players in a myriad of different ways. That was demonstrated again when a fan favorite, Max Hurleman, got his own chance at the next level earlier this week. Hurleman, who joined the Fighting Irish last year as a walk-on from Colgate, showed again that he might be this generation's version of Rudy Ruettiger.

1 day ago | huskercorner.com | Oliver VanDervoort

A Frost flare-up, a 4-star corner visit, and Matt Rhule’s latest media moment highlight Nebraska Cornhuskers news. The Nebraska Cornhuskers are getting ready for the third season of Matt Rhule's reign, but there are times when it's hard to forget past failures. That includes the abysmal seasons that were the Scott Frost era. It makes sense, considering he's back in coaching over in the Big 12 at UCF. That job got him to Lincoln and set the Huskers' program back several years.

Nebraska football sits in strong position for a 4-star DB ahead of June official visit. While Matt Rhule is playing his own brand of "Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? " It's important to point out that he and his Nebraska football staff are doing a heck of a job recruiting. And while those efforts haven't landed a ton of recruits, that could be changing very soon. The Huskers already hauled in Trae Taylor and Jase Reynolds over the last few weeks.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager misses more time as hamstring issue continues to linger. It's hardly surprising that Corey Seager is missing Monday's game for the Texas Rangers. After all, it's clear at this point that when the team brought him back from the IL, he hadn't recovered from his hamstring pull all the way. The question now is just how many games a week does the star shortstop have to miss before it is healed?

Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule is everywhere this spring, and everyone is noticing. Never let it be said that Nebraska football head coach Matt Rhule doesn't understand recruiting. The man knows how to get his name and face out there nationwide. He knows how to get people talking about him and, by relation, the Husker program. He knows how to do it with style and appears to be having a lot of fun.
Notre Dame fully disrespected in new post-spring Top 25 rankings from Josh Pate

2 days ago | slapthesign.com | Oliver VanDervoort

Notre Dame football fans aren’t having Josh Pate’s latest rankings—and for good reason. If you tend not to take Josh Pate very seriously like me, kudos to you for being wise beyond your years (however old you are.) And while Pate isn't someone who should really ever be taken seriously, his latest post-spring Top 20 rankings are still something that Notre Dame Fighting Irish fans should point and laugh at as they begin to circulate on social media on Monday.

Nebraska football loses another portal player as TE Ian Flynt commits to the North Carolina State Wolfpack. One of the most interesting things to watch unfold this spring is that the players that left the Nebraska football program in the portal, are getting Power 4 landing spots. That hasn’t always been the case and it might already be a sign of how Matt Rhule and company have boosted the talent level in Lincoln with Ian Flynt being the latest.
