This could be the second best collaboration between Huskers football and volleyball since last August.
Nebraska football announced that its annual fan day will be on August 24 and will once again take place inside the Hawks Championship Center. Fans of the Huskers will get a chance to meet and get autographs from not only the athletes but also the coaching staff.

The event will begin at 11 a.m CDT and go until 12:30 p.m.. Football begins their season a week later on August 31 against the UTEP Miners.
What makes this a pseudo double-header is that the Nebraska volleyball team, who had already announced that they would have their fan day on the 24th of August, adjusted the time of theirs. Originally scheduled to take place inside the Devaney Center from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Husker volleyball will go an hour earlier from 9-11 a.m., allowing fans to attend both.
To make matters more interesting Nebraska volleyball will also host their annual Red-White Scrimmage later in the day at 6 p.m. CDT.
This will be fans’ first look new Huskers Olivia Mauch (Freshman-DS/Libero), Leyla Blackwell (transfer Middle Blocker from San Diego), Taylor Landfair (transfer Outisde Hitter from Minnesota), and Skylar Pierce (freshman OH). The Huskers also have some members of the NORCECA U21 Continental Championship Gold Medalists with Bergen Reilly (setter), Andi Jackson (MB), and Jaylen Reyes (assistant coach), as well as NORCECA Final Six Silver Medalists Merritt Beason (Opposite), Lexi Rodriguez (Libero) and Landfair.

Volleyball gets its season started three days later on the 27th of August, on the road for a neutral site match inside the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, KY against the Kentucky Wildcats as part of the AVCA First Serve Showcase.
More information on the dual fan days will be released in the coming days.
