The Warren Academy, which provides training to some of the top high school football players in the Omaha area, hosted a media day on Wednesday at The Mark in Elkhorn, Nebraska. Players from Omaha area high schools like Bellevue West and Creighton Prep along with Lincoln and Iowa athletes attended the event.
Steve Warren, former Husker football player and the founder of the Warren Academy, invited Opendorse to educate the athletes on strengthening their name, image and likeness (NIL). Each player also had their picture taken in their high school’s football jersey.
HuskerOnline caught up with several athletes and discussed their recruiting and upcoming football seasons.

These were my surprises of the week:
No Big Ten teams will host a regional: I shouldn’t be surprised, but I still am. The fact the Big Ten didn’t have one of the possible 20 NCAA host regional sites was a blow. It also was a message to the league’s tone-deaf leadership that decided to do their own thing by being the only high-profile league in the country to not allow non-conference games.
Phalen Sanford’s testing marks: When former strength coach Boyd Epley used to list the top winter conditioning marks over 20 years ago at NU, it allowed Husker fans to get to know a few under-the-radar names based on their athletic testing results.
