Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule announced Wednesday that one of his players is leaving the team for an unusual reason.

Ty Hahn, a redshirt sophomore, is giving up football so he can enjoy life on the farm. And no, we’re not kidding.

“Rhule says Ty Hahn (going to farm, engaged) and Blaise Gunnerson (injuries) are moving on from NU football,” Sam Mckewon wrote on X.

Hahn joined Nebraska’s football program in 2020. After watching that season from the sideline, he appeared in four games during the 2021 season.

It wasn’t until this season when Hahn received snaps on both offense and special teams. He ultimately hauled in four passes for 36 yards.

The reactions to Hahn’s decision have been mostly supportive.

“This is the most Nebraska thing ever,” one person said.

Another person commented, “Going to farm is one of the best reasons to step away from football I’ve ever heard.”

We’re wishing Hahn all the best as he gets ready for the next chapter of his life.

LINCOLN, Neb. — Before anyone moves in or out, the Nebraska football roster for 2024 stands about 20 over the scholarship limit. That includes all players with remaining eligibility and the recruits committed to the Huskers.

Understand, though, that the numbers are of little significance.

Nebraska could climb to 30 players over the 85-scholarship limit, and it would not present a major problem. Not a problem, that is, if coach Matt Rhule in his second year is ready to do what’s needed with the roster to make a run at marked improvement after a 5-7 debut season in Lincoln that ended with four consecutive defeats.

“I know this program is in really good hands,” departing offensive lineman Noure Nouili said after Iowa beat Nebraska 13-10 on a 38-yard field goal as time expired at Memorial Stadium, “and that the next few classes are all going to destroy everybody in front of them.”

The Huskers have not produced a winning season since 2016. The seven-year postseason drought, the longest in the Power 5, is a drain on the program’s positive energy.
