Seven-year-old Jack Hoffman's dream came true when he scored a touchdown for the University of Nebraska Huskers. INSIDE EDITION spoke to the brave young boy battling brain cancer.
It was a touching moment on a college football field that’s receiving national attention.
Jack Hoffman is a seven-year-old kid who's a big fan of the University of Nebraska Huskers.
Over the weekend, at the spring scrimmage game, the team let Jack play as 60,000 fans watched.
There wasn't a dry eye in the house as Jack scored a touchdown. The team lifted him above their shoulders like the hero he is.

Jacks dad replied, “Our hearts are just over flowed with gratitude. It’s just a bucket full of human emotions all at once. It was pretty overwhelming.”
