Rhule Doubts Traditional Spring Game in 2025

Nebraska's head coach Matt Rhule has expressed significant concerns about holding the traditional spring game due to the risk of other programs poaching players, citing the open market nature of college football's current transfer portal. Rhule highlighted that the televised spring game last year led to multiple offers for his players from other teams, resulting in six players entering the transfer portal shortly thereafter. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the spring game, Rhule remains focused on recruiting and enhancing team dynamics, particularly through the transfer portal. Additionally, Rhule mentioned ongoing efforts to improve the special teams, though he attributes previous issues more to player execution rather than the coaching scheme. As for the team's roster, Rhule is keen on competition and development, specifically spotlighting quarterback Dylan Raiola's growth and leadership potential. Rhule also took the opportunity to thank former volleyball coach John Cook on his retirement for his contributions to Nebraska sports.
