The resolution honors Jack Hoffman, a Nebraska native who became a symbol of hope and resilience after being diagnosed with a cancerous glioma at the age of five. Jack gained national attention when he ran a 69-yard touchdown during the University of Nebraska football spring game in 2013, an event that inspired millions and led to the creation of the Team Jack Foundation, which has raised over fourteen million dollars for pediatric brain cancer research. His remarkable journey included receiving an ESPY award for Best Moment in Sports and beginning his freshman year in a pre-law program at the University of Nebraska at Kearney in 2024.

The resolution expresses the Nebraska Legislature's recognition of Jack's perseverance and strength, as well as its condolences to his family following his passing on January 15, 2025, at the age of nineteen. A copy of the resolution will be sent to Jack Hoffman's family as a tribute to his legacy and impact on the community.
