Nebraska Football’s Matt Rhule Breaks TikTok Rule in Video with Harper Murray

Matt Rhule seems to have broken his own rule regarding trendy dances at the hallowed grounds of Memorial Stadium.
The Nebraska football coach was spotted in a recent TikTok video posted by Husker volleyball’s Harper Murray, performing a viral dance inside of Memorial Stadium. Murray added in her caption that she thought the coach “didn’t like tik tok.”

Rhule had previously stated publicly on the Pat McAfee Show back on Feb. 27 that he had to institute a new rule at the Nebraska football facilities to limit the use of the app from his younger players. He was made aware of the use of the football complex for TikToks through his daughter and inpart due to Murray.
“I walked into the training table the other day and Harper Murray, our All-American volleyball player, was sitting there with my nine-year-old,” Rhule said on the Pat McAfee Show during the NFL Combine. “She said, ‘Coach Rhule, we’re going to do a TikTok.”
“Now, I’m anti-TikTok,” Rhule said. “I won’t let the kids have it. My nine-year-old is like ‘What are you going to say to Harper?’ I’m like, ‘Oh, have fun.”
Rhule then said he downloaded the popular app, only to find “people in the facility” on different videos across TikTok. Rhule stated he saw 35 of his football players using the app, while one player used the app inside of the facility. The coach defined that as a “hard no.”
The football coach then returned to his team and instructed the strength and conditioning staff to use the learning moment into a team workout.
“Our strength coach did a TikTok workout this morning with the freshman,” Rhule said to McAfee. “They were pushing players with their bios and all their cool stuff they to post on there. They were doing wall sits at the end, and every freshman had to get out and do a 10-second TikTok dance while the rest of the guys did the wall sit.”
Rhule called it a “welcome to old school” for the new players on the Nebraska football roster. Despite his stern message, Rhule elected to join Murray for the TikTok posted on Monday afternoon.
Murray is used to having featured guests in her TikTok’s including former volleyball coach John Cook, as well as other Husker volleyball teammates. Following her post, several social media profiles commented on the post ranging from Barstool Sports’ owner Dave Portnoy, 2027 quarterback recruit Trae Taylor, and other media members.

Despite the coach’s stance on using TikTok within the private Nebraska football complex, Rhule still seems capable of staying one step ahead of his team in viral content. The Huskers continue their spring practice sessions leading into their April 26 “Husker Games” in place of a traditional Red-White Spring Game to conclude the spring season.

Nebraska volleyball releases 2025 schedule

Nebraska released the volleyball schedule for the 2025 season earlier this week. The Huskers finished the 2024 season with a 33-3 record. They also won the Big Ten title with a 19-1 conference mark.
They entered the NCAA Tournament as the third overall seed, making it all the way to the semifinals before falling to eventual national champion Penn State.
One of the key storylines for this season will be new coach Dani Busboom Kelly. She took over in January 2025, following the retirement of legendary coach John Cook. Now, Nebraska volleyball will begin a new era.
The Huskers kick off the season on Friday, Aug. 22, when they host the Pitt Panthers at Pinnacle Bank Arena as part of the AVCA First Serve Showcase. They start Big Ten play against the Michigan Wolverines on Wednesday, Sep. 24, in Lincoln, Nebraska. They close the 2025 season on Nov. 29 at home against Ohio State.
The program looks poised for another major run in 2025, but will have to try to replace All-Americans Lexi Rodriguez and Merritt Beason. Things will look a bit different on the sidelines without Cook, but the program should be in good hands with a new head coach, and most of last season’s starters are returning.
Find the entire schedule below.
