Former Husker and NFL veteran Adam Carriker hosts football camp in Lincoln

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Former Husker and NFL first-round draft pick Adam Carriker hosted his first football camp Wednesday in Lincoln.

Carriker brought in a host of former Huskers to help coach the Carriker Chronicles Football Camp, including former Heisman winner Eric Crouch, two-time national champion Ahman Green, Outland Trophy winner Zach Wiegert and First Team All-Conference selection Kenny Wilhite.

“I see sports as a way to bring people together,” Carriker said.

He said wants to give kids “the opportunity to be around some cool coaches, to do some football and hopefully make some memories that will last with them for quite a while.”

Green came all the way from Texas to be a part of the camp.

“It is always a great feeling to come back on any level,” he said. 

The event was hosted by Lincoln Youth Football.

It’s set to return next year and will aim to continue for years to come.
