Nebraska Player Vows to Make Wheelchair-Bound Fans Stand Up in Excitement

Ahead of the Nebraska Cornhuskers' 2025 season opener against Cincinnati this Thursday, the team is brimming with confidence and excitement. The Cornhuskers are set to play the neutral-site game at the Kansas City Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium, which will air in primetime on ESPN.

Last year, Nebraska ended a long bowl game drought and finished with a winning record, giving the team high hopes for the upcoming season. Defensive back DeShon Singleton has made a particularly bold statement, declaring that the Cornhuskers will get fans so hyped that even those in wheelchairs will stand up in excitement.

"We finna make people in wheelchairs stand up!" Singleton said, drawing a mix of reactions on social media. While some questioned the appropriateness of the comment, many praised Singleton's confidence and enthusiasm.

The Cornhuskers will look to build on their momentum from 2024 as they navigate a challenging 2025 schedule. After the Cincinnati opener, they face Akron and Houston Christian at home before welcoming the Michigan Wolverines. The team will need to overcome a tough November slate that includes games against USC, UCLA, Penn State, and longtime rival Iowa.

If the Cornhuskers can live up to Singleton's hype, they could be in for an exciting and successful 2025 campaign, one that may even have fans in wheelchairs standing up and cheering.
