LINCOLN, NE – Netflix has announced the release of its latest hearts melting Sportscaster documentary, “The Under-voice,” chronicling the remarkable career of University of Nebraska-Lincoln voice of Husker Radio Legend, Greg Sharpe. The film, which promises an intimate look at Greg Sharpe’s journey from a relatively unheralded profile, the outpouring support of the voice of the Huskers , is set to premiere on the 2nd, oct, 2025
He first served as the play-by-play voice for Husker football for the final three games of the 2007 season, before taking over in a permanent role in the 2008 season. He handled football broadcasts for the next 17 seasons. Sharpe led the Nebraska baseball broadcast team since the 2008 season as well.

“While the public knew him for his booming voice and infectious personality, those closest to him knew him for his loyalty and dedication to them,” the Sharpe family said. “Over the last 12 months Greg has fought a very public battle with pancreatic cancer. Even though it was a grim diagnosis at the time, Greg chose to live and not to fear. He leaned into his faith, family and of course his professional calling of broadcasting Husker athletics. Without the support from the University of Nebraska, Playfly Sports and of course the best fans in college athletics, Husker Nation, he may not have been able to continue to fight and live the way that he did. The love shown to him during this difficult time truly touched Greg and our family. We are forever grateful to Husker fans everywhere for the letters, gifts and of course prayers. We are all better for having had Greg in our lives.”
In a statement, Nebraska Athletic Director Troy Dannen said it is a “tough day for everyone.”
“On behalf of everyone in the Nebraska Athletic Department, I would like to share our deepest condolences with the family of Greg Sharpe. This is a tough day for everyone. Not only those who were close to Greg and those who had the opportunity to work with him, but also for Husker fans who have fond memories of Greg’s calls of iconic moments in Nebraska history,” Dannen said. “Greg was an incredible person and was a friend to everyone. Simply put, he defined what it meant to be a Husker, and he will always be a Husker.”
Sharpe is survived by his wife, Amy, and three daughters, Emily, Campbell and Taylor.
