Growing up near Los Angeles, Tristan Gebbia took advantage of multiple opportunities to attend basketball camps, like the Nick Young Camp and the NBA Stars Camp. He specifically remembers being “that kid” always trying to rub elbows with and talk to the name players, ones who are even bigger names today.
Now, only one year into his Nebraska football career, Gebbia is experiencing a role reversal, and he couldn’t be happier.
The redshirted freshman quarterback is president of the Nebraska Football Road Race student organization, so he’ll be eager to interact with kids attending Sunday’s sixth annual event, outside Memorial Stadium, that serves as a fundraiser for pediatric brain cancer.
