Fall Camp Starts Wednesday for Husker Football Team

Six players will not be working out at the start of fall camp Wednesday for the Nebraska football team. Head Coach Matt Rhule said that among the six not working out because of injury is sophomore kicker Tristen Alvano, who had been dealing with a groin issue and had a quick surgery, which had two weeks to recover. He’ll be working out with the training staff. Rhule says they will have 120 players to start fall camp. Nebraska’s season opener will be August 31 against UTEP at Memorial Stadium.  You can hear other coaches comments by clicking the link to the KFOR Sports podcast page at kfornow.com.
