Turns out, football was the reason for Damon's visit. More specifically, his nephew -- Ishmail Jackson -- wants to walk on to the Huskers and went with Damon to check things out.

Actor Matt Damon would add excitement to Nebraska games.
According to 247sports.com, Jackson has enrolled at the school and will try to make the team as a defensive back. The 6-foot, 180-pounder played for South Broward High School in -- where else -- Hollywood. Oh, wait. That's Hollywood, Fla. He'll try out for Nebraska coaches next month.
Damon is married to Jackson's aunt, Luciana Bozán Barroso. He and Jackson toured Nebraska's campus and came away impressed with the academic support system.
“It was Matt’s first time and he was amazed,” Jackson told 247sports.com. “He said Nebraska had so much to offer. We went through the whole orientation process. He found out a lot of stuff he didn’t know. He was like ‘Man, I love this. It’s great. The setup here is great. They don’t want you to drop off.’ That’s the main thing he liked about it. The college is not going to just let you be out there on your own. There’s help everywhere to get the help you need.”
Jackson said the actor has become a Nebraska fan.
“He racked up so much Husker gear at the bookstore,” Jackson said. “He bought everything.”
