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.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – The Nebraska baseball team lost to Kansas 9-7 on Tuesday in front of a record crowd at Hoglund Park. The Huskers took an early lead on an RBI single by National Freshman of the Week Drew Grego. After giving up three unanswered runs, Nebraska rallied to go back in front on a 3rd-inning single by Will Jesske. Both Grego and Jesske finished with two hits in the game.
Kansas, however, took control in the middle innings. The Jayhawks got home runs from Tyson Owens and Josh Dykoff in the sixth frame. Both round-trippers came off NU relief pitcher Ty Horn. Kansas added insurance in the 7th inning before a late rally by the Huskers.
Nebraska trimmed a five-run deficit to two, but couldn’t complete the comeback on the road.
The Huskers’ loss is their second to the Jayhawks this season. Nebraska’s record drops to 31-10 overall.
Will Bolt’s team returns to action on Friday at Illinois. Game one is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. in Champaign.

Nebraska jumps up to No. 2 in college softball Power 10 rankings

Check out Michella Chester’s updated college softball Power 10 rankings for the week of April 21, which sees Nebraska rise to No. 2 behind an 11-game win streak.
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – A deeper look tonight as First Alert 6 continues to dig deeper into the state of mental health care in Nebraska and possible solutions, ever since last week’s two instances involving law enforcement.
A Douglas County sheriff’s deputy was shot responding to a domestic call. Investigators said the suspect, Brian Huggins, had a history of behavioral health issues. Huggins died by suicide.
And then Noemi Guzman, who police say kidnapped a 3-year-old from inside an Omaha Walmart and cut him in the arm and face with a stolen kitchen knife. Omaha police officers shot and killed her before she could strike again.
Guzman had been on a court-ordered mental health treatment plan since last summer for her schizophrenia. According to court records, psychiatrists determined she could live in the community. Remember, this was after she was arrested for setting her father’s house on fire and threatening a priest with a knife.
Monitoring system
We wanted to know who is part of the system monitoring those who may not be following their mental health treatment plan and are a risk to others or themselves. When that happens, the Board of Mental Health will often notify the local sheriff so a warrant can be issued and deputies can track the individual down.
Here are the numbers since 2023:
In 2023, 842 warrants were issued for those not following their treatment plans according to the Board of Mental Health. In 2024, 756. In 2025, 690. So far in 2026, 190.
But out of these 2,500 warrants, 85% of them didn’t have a second warrant, meaning deputies picked them up, got them back into treatment and the individuals continued to thrive after the one hiccup.
But in 15% of these cases, the individuals messed up again and had another warrant issued by the Board of Mental Health. Twenty-five individuals had five or more issued in Douglas County.
Sheriff Hanson said there has to be a better way, a more team approach for this.
One model to explore is the way Nebraska’s problem-solving courts work like drug court and veterans’ treatment court where experts from a variety of stakeholders help individuals who are on the fringes to do everything to make them productive citizens.
