As Nebraska's football team dives deeper into spring practice, one name keeps popping up: Luke Sorensen. The freshman tight end has caught the eye of Dana Holgorsen, the Huskers' offensive coordinator, who believes Sorensen is poised to make a significant impact on the field in 2026.
Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 240 pounds, Sorensen isn't just about size-he's about strength and skill. Holgorsen highlighted Sorensen's ability to combine power with technique, saying, "He's powerful.
His pad level is low, and he's a 240-pound dude. He's going to get a whole lot of looks.
If you watch him run, with his power, I don't know how we can keep him off the field."
Sorensen's potential is turning heads during spring camp, and it's easy to see why. Last season, Luke Lindenmeyer led Nebraska's tight ends with 29 receptions for 312 yards and two touchdowns.
As he enters his senior year, Lindenmeyer is expected to start, but Sorensen's high school stats suggest he's ready to compete. With 25 catches for 306 yards and three touchdowns, averaging over 30 yards per catch, Sorensen's versatility is clear.
Nebraska faces a pivotal 2026 season, and the team is eager to rack up wins and yardage. Holgorsen sees Sorensen as a potential game-changer, someone who could add a new dimension to the Huskers' offense. As the season approaches, all eyes will be on how Sorensen's role evolves and how he can contribute to Nebraska's success.
