Jay Sims(2025)- Football, UNL

Jay Sims UNL Football Player

The Nebraska Greats Foundation remains committed to extending support to former and current athletes like Jay, who have contributed significantly to Nebraska's rich sporting history.

The Nebraska Greats Foundation is an organization dedicated to helping former and current college athletes from any of Nebraska’s four year colleges and universities. The NGF is pleased to announce a grant has been awarded to Jay Sims for assistance with medical needs!

Jay Sims, former Nebraska Football player from 1994-1997 has significant medical issues with an underlying diagnosis of hypertension.

In addition he has chronic renal failure and cerebral vascular disease, all of which have led to a debilitating stroke. He has had difficulty regaining mobility from his left hemiparalysis. He reached out to the NGF to help with the expense of a Cionic sleeve for his left leg. 

I would like to thank Nebraska Greats Foundation for their generous support. My family and I can now continue to focus on my recovery from a stroke without the strain of medical bills. I will always be grateful for your help and support. 

–Thank you, 

Jay Sims
