LINCOLN, NE - On January 15, 2025, Governor Jim Pillen issued the following statement on the passing of 19-year-old Jack Hoffman:

“Jack inspired millions and won the hearts of people around the world. The touchdown run in Memorial Stadium is one of the best moments in all of Husker football history and it helped launch an important mission to raise funds and find a cure for pediatric brain cancer. Suzanne and I mourn with the Hoffman’s, and we join Nebraskans in sending prayers to their family.”
