Country music artist Scotty McCreery will perform at the “Volleyball Day in Nebraska” event on Aug. 30 at Memorial Stadium.
When Nebraska announced the event in February, it teased a to-be-determined musical guest, leaving fans to speculate on social media.

The 2011 American Idol winner sang the national anthem before the Nebraska football team’s win against Northwestern on Oct. 2, 2021, at Memorial Stadium.
