An eventful Saturday in Lincoln, Nebraska, saw the Cornhuskers defeat Colorado in a game that got out of hand in the first half. It allegedly got even more out of hand following the game. 

After the highly anticipated game between the two bitter rivals, there was an alleged incident between a Nebraska fan and a Colorado staffer that has come to light due to a social media post that was sent following the Buffaloes loss. 

According to a post from Corey Phillips, who is the director of player personnel for Colorado football, a Nebraska fan shouted a racial slur at the team and coaching staff after the game had concluded. 

“Losing is one thing, the use of the N-word towards our staff and kids ain’t a good look. Please be lucky my father told me to prepare myself not to respond! My man that let that word come flying out of your mouth,may God cover your troubled heart,” Phillips posted. 

The alleged incident occurred following the loss, and while the Colorado team was boarding their busses to head to the airport for their flight back to Boulder. According to BuffsBeat, sources detailed how the incident took place.

“Two sources confirmed details of the post game altercation to BuffsBeat,” the report stated. ” One of them said that Colorado players were loading the buses outside of Memorial Stadium when a Nebraska fan allegedly yelled out a racial slur in a profanity-laced rant before fleeing the area. Phillips was said to be assisting the Buffs players at the time of the incident.”

OutKick reached out to Colorado officials, who did not have a comment on the matter. 

Deion Sanders Responds To Question About Alleged Incident 

OutKick reached out to Colorado officials, who did not have a comment on the matter. 

On Tuesday, Deion Sanders was asked about the alleged incident that came from his director of player personnel, and the Colorado head coach did not elaborate further on the situation. 

“Oh lord, alleged, what was that? You got to understand, whoever reported it. Was it one of our guys? I don’t know, what said? If they said it happened. When you guys say it happened, doesn’t it mean it happened?’ Sanders jokingly replied. “I don’t know anything about a racist, I try to stay out of the race stuff. I don’t like to play that card until I’m dealt that hand profoundly in-front of others.”

No video of the alleged incident has yet to surface online. 

Also, the report states that the University of Nebraska police department is aware of the alleged exchange, and OutKick has reached out to the department. 

There is certainly no place for any type of racism, and there are no excuses for the alleged incident. 

Christian Jones, a four-star linebacker out of Omaha Westside and the No. 1-ranked prospect in the state of Nebraska in the Class of 2025, has committed to the Huskers after his visits to Memorial Stadium for the first two games of the season.

Jones picked Nebraska over Oklahoma and counted offers from USC, Auburn, Iowa, Notre Dame and others. He’s ranked by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 161 prospect nationally and the 19th-best linebacker.

At 6 feet 2 and 215 pounds, Jones plays for the two-time defending Class A champion in Nebraska. Former Westside teammates Caleb Benning, Tristan Alvano, Jaylen Lloyd and Preston Okafor play for the Huskers.

Jones’ father, Dave Jones, played at Nebraska in the 1990s.

The Huskers were long locked in a recruiting battle with the Sooners for the younger Jones, who chose to wait on his decision until after he watched the opening stretch of play this college season.

Nebraska is 2-0 for the first time since 2019 after a 28-10 victory against Colorado on Saturday. The Huskers have allowed two touchdowns in two games.

Jones is the 19th member of Nebraska’s Class of 2025 and sixth from a Nebraska high school, joining defensive lineman Tyson Terry of Omaha North, athlete Jackson Carpenter of Lincoln Southwest, athlete Pierce Mooberry and safety Caden VerMaas, both of Millard North in Omaha, and athlete Conor Booth of Wahoo Bishop Neumann.

Jones fills a need for Nebraska at linebacker. He’s the first player at the position to commit in this class. The Huskers are set to lose seniors John Bullock and MJ Sherman at linebacker and possibly Javin Wright, who’s listed as a senior but has dealt with numerous injuries and medical issues in his career.

A massive weekend for Nebraska football saw not only a win on the field, but is now seeing wins on the recruiting trail.

The No. 1 player in the state of Nebraska for the class of 2025 has officially committed to the Cornhuskers. A four-star linebacker out of Omaha Westside, Christian Jones made the announcement on social media Monday evening.

The caption of the post says, “THROW THE BONES.” Jones closes the video by walking out of a row of corn in a Blackshirts shirt to say, “There is no place like Nebraska.”

The 6-2, 215-pound recruit is the No. 19 linebacker in the country and is No. 161 among national prospects, according to 247Sports Composite. Jones picked the Huskers over USC, Boston College, Iowa, and Iowa State.

247Sports Scouting Analyst Gabe Brooks gave Jones high scores for his athleticism.

“Motor runs hot and reveals itself in pursuit,” Brooks said. “Displays good linear closing speed but can also redirect to rally. Could provide core special teams value early in college career. Displays functional strength as a defender with ability to play through contact with obvious core strength and body control”

Nebraska’s 2025 class is now up to 19 commitments. Seven of the commits are 247Sports Composite four-stars: Jones, wide receiver Isaiah Mozee, quarterback TJ Lateef, defensive lineman Malcolm Simpson, defensive lineman Kade Pietrzak, running back Jamarion Parker, and cornerback Bryson Webber..
