Young Nebraska Cornhusker Fan Jack Hoffman’s Brain Cancer in Remission Posted Oct 7, 2013 You may remember 8-year-old Jack Hoffman, the Nebraska Cornhuskers football fan who got the chance to end his favorite team’s spring game back in April with an inspiring 69-yard run to the end zone. Little Jack, who was diagnosed with brain cancer in April 2011, fulfilled his biggest dream that day when he scored the scrimmage’s final touchdown and became the game’s leading rusher. (ABC News)
