Nebraska football will host the Red Sea Rising event at Memorial Stadium this weekend, featuring the second annual Battle of the Boneyard 7‑on‑7 Tournament.
A Showcase for the Next Generation
Teams ranked among the nation’s elite will converge on Lincoln to compete in a series of high‑intensity drills and scrimmages, testing prospects who are already drawing attention from college programs.
Head coach Matt Rhule emphasized that the success of the weekend hinges on the passion of the fan base, noting that a lively crowd can energize both players and recruits alike.
Rhule has set an ambitious target of attracting more than 10,000 spectators on Saturday night, a figure he believes would underscore the event’s growing importance within the recruiting landscape.
The championship rounds of the Battle of the Boneyard are scheduled to begin at approximately 7 p.m. Central Time, capping a day of competition that promises to highlight the most dynamic talent from across the country.
Beyond the on‑field action, the gathering serves as a critical recruiting weekend for the Cornhuskers, offering coaches a direct view of prospects who could shape the program’s future.
