LINCOLN, Neb. -- Greg Sharpe, the play-by-play voice for Nebraska football since 2007, has died of cancer, his family announced through the school Saturday. He was 61.
Sharpe died Friday, 10 months after he announced he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He was able to work several games last season.
"While his passion and energy on the call of Husker football and baseball brought joy to so many for the past 17 seasons, it comforts us to know that his legacy will live on through these same moments that he narrated and through the relationships that he built," his family's statement said.
