Three former Nebraska Huskers—center Cam Jurgens, offensive lineman Nick Gates, and linebacker Ochaun Mathis—are now Super Bowl champions following the Philadelphia Eagles’ dominant victory in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday. This marks the second time in five years that Nebraska has had three alumni on a Super Bowl-winning roster, echoing the 2020 season when three former Husker defenders claimed rings with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
