Author: The Daily News Now! September 11, 2026 Duration: 1:14

Mac Markway, Nebraska’s defensive lineman and former LSU tight end recruit, is retiring from football after a turbulent college journey marked by injuries and position changes. Despite a promising start—including a freshman touchdown at LSU—he transferred directly to Nebraska in 2024 without using the portal. Two devastating knee injuries in 2024 and 2025 derailed his offensive dreams, forcing him to switch to defensive end before the 2026 season, which he’ll miss entirely. In his emotional social media announcement, Markway said his knees simply couldn’t handle the demands anymore, and he now feels peace with his decision. His story is one of resilience, adaptation, and closure—watching to see what comes next for this once-promising athlete.
