Kearney, Neb. – The Nebraska Kearney football team begins spring workouts on March 24 (Tuesday) and will have two scrimmages this year.

Per Division II rules, the team can work out 15 times in a consecutive 30-day period. Over 100 Lopers will take part in spring ball that'll culminate on April 18 (Saturday) with a "Blue/White" scrimmage at 1 p.m. A week earlier, UNK heads to Sergeant-Luton High School, just south of Sioux City, Ia., to face Minnesota State in a scrimmage. That'll begin at 2 p.m. with the format for each scrimmage to be determined.

Head Coach Ryan Held and his staff welcome back 2025 All-MIAA selections Carter Klein (center) and Parker Wise (linebacker) as well as 23 mid-year transfers (to be announced later this summer). They joined the program in January and have been going through winter workouts.

Practices are open to the public (3-5 p.m. daily) with dates potentially changing due to poor weather.
