COACH RYAN HELD | UNK Football's In-State Talent Acquisition  
Podcast: Hurrdat Sports Live
Published On: Thu Feb 05 2026
Description: UNK football coach Ryan Held joins Hurrdat Sports Live and talks about his career path after leaving Nebraska football during the Scott Frost era. You can't fall in love with your players in the current iteration of college football. Walk-ons at Nebraska now have a chance to play at lower-level schools like UNK. Fit and talent are still important to the non-negotiables for Held. Not many Division I coaches contact lower-class coaches with transfer players. In-state talent is the key to UNK's 2026 recruitment class. Kearney is a great place. Austin Jacobsen is a great Loper. Hurrdat Sports Live is presented by NextGen Male Medical.
