Jack Hoffman was once surviving for his life, but in 2019, he’s a source of inspiration. On Saturday, he made a guest appearance for Nebraska on ESPN’s College GameDay.
While battling brain cancer in 2013, he played in Nebraska’s 2013 spring game and scored a touchdown. He overcame his cancer and is now playing football in eighth grade. ESPN showed a highlight of his score from the 2013 spring game and interviewed him with his father on this weekend’s GameDay.
