Tristan Gebbia is headlong into the competition to emerge from the summer as Nebraska’s starting quarterback.
On Wednesday morning, he had a more immediate challenge: Corralling about 35 kids in a giant scrum of a touch football game – or at least something that looked like a touch football game – on the turf at the Hawks indoor center.
The elementary and middle school-aged kids were part of a group of more than 170 who took part in Nebraska’s free youth camp, arranged in coordination with the Food Bank of Lincoln’s BackPack Program to give kids from rural parts of the state a chance to experience a Husker football camp who otherwise may not have been able to.
