A former professor and director of athletic training at Texas State University and coordinator of medical systems for the San Antonio Spurs is the new director of the Nebraska Athletic Performance Lab.
Jack Ransone was tapped to lead the department responsible for researching athlete biomechanics, nutrition, and sports-related anatomy and physiology from the 50,000-square-foot lab in East Stadium.
“It’s a privilege to work in a world-class laboratory alongside great coaches and athletes,” Ransone said in a news release.
Ransone has worked in athletic departments at Oklahoma State University, San Jose State University and Adams State College, while also serving as an athletic trainer for three Olympic Games, international cross country, track and field and wrestling events.
