- Andy Hoffman, father of the young cancer patient who captured the hearts of college football fans when he ran for a touchdown in Nebraska’s 2013 spring game, died after a seven-month battle with brain cancer. The Team Jack Foundation announced Andy died at home on Monday. The little boy was a surprise participant in the Cornhuskers’ spring game the following spring. Andy was diagnosed with brain cancer last summer and underwent treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. His wife, Bri, wrote last week in a post on the Team Jack website that Andy’s neurological symptoms were worsening.
