What Dana Holgorsen said following Nebraska’s first spring practice

Nebraska offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen met with the media on Thursday following the Huskers’ spring practice. Holgorsen is entering his second season with Nebraska after joining Matt Rhule’s coaching staff with four games remaining in the 2024 season.

Holgorsen will earn $1.2 million this season, but he won’t be the highest-paid member of the offensive staff. Tight ends coach Marcus Satterfield will make $1.4 million in 2025, his salary as offensive coordinator before being replaced by Holgorsen.

The Huskers won’t play a traditional spring game this year. The Husker Games will take place on Saturday, April 26, allowing fans to preview Nebraska football, volleyball and soccer teams for the 2025 season.

On the football field, the Huskers will feature 7-on-7 games and skills competitions similar to the NFL’s Pro Bowl games.

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.
