Nebraska teammates vote Justin Evans to receive a single-digit jersey

Nebraska center Justin Evans earned a single-digit jersey following a vote by his teammates. NCAA rules prohibit offensive linemen from wearing single-digit numbers during official games, preventing Evans from displaying the honor on the field. Evans, who joined the program in 2023, has become a fixture on the offensive line with 38 total appearances and 31 starts. This recognition serves as an acknowledgment of his contributions to the team both on and off the field as he continues to serve as a mainstay for the Huskers. He has remained with the team through various leadership transitions and shifts in the college football since his arrival.
