Steve Marik: Staff Writer

Steve is the lead football and men’s basketball reporter at Inside Nebraska, and he will provide coverage of football and basketball recruiting as well. He has nine years of professional sports writing experience. That includes one year at his last stop where he served as a football beat writer, in addition to covering the Nebraska women’s basketball team and the Husker baseball team.

“I really have two passions in life — watching college football and basketball, and then writing about it. I've been fortunate enough to turn those into a career and couldn't be happier about that. I've learned so much during my days covering local high school sports for the Aurora News Register, York News-Times and Nebpreps.com, but I've always dreamed about covering college football and basketball. That's a reality now, and I'm so grateful for it.”

Jansen Coburn: Digital Producer

Jansen is a digital producer and contributing staff writer at Inside Nebraska. His two main focus areas are football and recruiting, but he assists with coverage of additional Husker sports.

"Growing up in a family of Nebraska football fans, I learned early on that college football was something I was incredibly passionate about. My love of the sport eventually led me to a love for recruiting. I’ll never forget the moment I was talking to a family friend who recognized my passion and knowledge for college football and suggested I make a career out of it. I’ve been pursuing one ever since. I’ve followed the Nebraska Rivals page religiously for years to get insider information on recruiting. The opportunity to become a staff member is nothing short of a dream come true, and I’m grateful to be part of a team of such talented people who share my passion."
