Former Husker Damon Benning joins Nebraska Athletics broadcasting booth
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Nebraska Athletics will be getting a new voice in the broadcasting booth.
On Tuesday, Greg Sharpe announced on “Sports Nightly” that Damon Benning would fill the vacancy left by Matt Davison.
“I’m excited to represent the state,” Benning said.
The former Husker will join Sharpe in the booth for Saturday’s game against Purdue.
“I love Nebraska. Sometimes I debate with my family who comes first, but ultimately, I begrudgingly land on family. But it’s close,” Benning said jokingly.
