Scout.com By Wire Reports Posted Jul 5, 2007 All-American Jason Peter, who was a member of three national championship teams for the Huskers between 1994 and 1997, headlines a list of seven former Huskers players to be inducted into the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame this September, Nebraska Chapter President Irving Veitzer announced Thursday. The Nebraska Football Hall of Fame is sponsored by the Nebraska Chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. The 10-memberinduction class, which includes seven former Huskers and three members from the state college ranks, will be enshrined at a special reception on Friday, Sept. 21, and will be introduced at the Ball State game on Sept. 22. The seven-player class of Huskers includes Lincoln native Eric Anderson, who helped NU to three national titles in 1994, 1995 and 1997 as a teammate of Peter's. Donta Jones helped Coach Tom Osborne claim his first title in 1994. Erik Wiegert was a captain on NU's 1991 Big Eight title squad and joins his younger brother Zach (1995) in the Hall of Fame. Peter also joins his older brother Christian (2006) in the Hall. Tyrone Legette, Kevin Ramaekers and Pioneer Division selection Adolph Wenke, round out NU's contingent in the 2007 Hall of Fame class.

In addition to the Hall of Fame class, the Nebraska Chapter will present its Clarence Swanson Memorial Award to Joe Silverman of Lincoln, and its Lyell Bremser Special Merit Award to former Husker assistant coach George Darlington. The 2007 Nebraska Football Hall of Fame Class Eric Anderson - A four-year letterman as an offensive tackle during one of the most dominant stretches in college football history, Anderson was an anchor on a Nebraska line that powered the Huskers to national titles in 1994, 1995 and 1997.The Lincoln native helped the Huskers to NCAA rushing title in all three championship seasons. NU rolled to a nation-leading 399.8 rushing yards in 1995, when it produced a school-record 556.3 yards of total offense per game. During his four-year career, Nebraska was an amazing 49-2 overall. He earned first-team All-Big Eight honors as a sophomore in 1995, before adding All-Big 12 accolades as a senior in 1997. He was also an academic All-Big 12 pick in 1997. After playing in the Blue-Gray All-Star Game, Anderson spent two seasons with Amsterdam in NFL Europe (1998, 1999). Donta Jones - A four-year letterman as an outside linebacker with the Huskers, Jones was a starter on Nebraska's 1994 national championship team as a senior. He notched five tackles and three quarterback hurries in NU's title game victory over the Miami Hurricanes in the Orange Bowl. The native of LaPlata, Md., appeared in four Orange Bowls during his career and earned first-team All-Big Eight honors as a senior. One of the hardest-working Huskers during his career, Jones was voted Nebraska's Lifter-of-the-Year in 1994 and was the Co-Lifter-of-the-Year in 1993. He was a fourth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1995 NFL Draft and played linebacker for the Steelers in Super Bowl XXX. He spent four seasons with Pittsburgh before playing for Carolina in 1999 and New Orleans in 2000. Tyrone Legette - A three-year letterman as a cornerback for the Huskers from 1989 to 1991, Legette helped Coach Tom Osborne's Huskers to a share of the Big Eight title and an Orange Bowl trip as a senior. A native of Columbia, S.C., Legette led the Huskers with nine pass breakups on his way to first-team All-Big Eight honors as a senior. He was a third-round pick in the 1992 NFL Draft by the New Orleans Saints and enjoyed the longest pro career of the 2007 Hall of Fame class.

A graduate of Norfolk (Neb.) Catholic High School, Ramaekers' career was hampered by injuries as a junior, but he started every game as a senior to help Nebraska play for the national title against Florida State in the 1994 Orange Bowl.

http://nebraska.scout.com/a.z?s=204&p=2&c=656755 By Allen Wallace National Recruiting Editor Posted Jul 6, 2007 "Nebraska probably has just a small lead over Georgia Tech," Brandon Leslie said. "Georgia Tech's in the ACC, one of the best conferences," he said. "Coach BJ (Brian Jean-Mary) came down from Atlanta to watch me practice and offered me right away after that. Georgia Tech plays big-time football and there's a lot to do in the city. Most likely I'll choose between Georgia Tech and Nebraska..." Brandon Leslie, the 6-foot, 195 pound safety from Edison High School in Fresno, Calif., remains convinced that Nebraska and Georgia Tech are the best spots for him. "There's a 95% chance I'll choose either Nebraska or Georgia Tech," Leslie said. They are both recruiting me the hardest. I'll be visiting Georgia Tech on Sept. 15 for their game vs Boston College. It'll be on national television at night. "And that advantage is mostly about family," he said. "Nebraska was the first school to offer me and my cousin is Steve Taylor, who played quarterback for the Cornhuskers in the '80s. "We talk once every 2-3 weeks or so," Leslie said. "I just talked with him last week. He says Nebraska is great and that the fan support is terrific. They love you there. Steve's in real estate in Lincoln and he'd be there for me if I went there. "I have another cousin named Toney McCray who just signed with Nebraska to play basketball. He's in summer school there now, getting ready for his freshman year. That could be a big factor for me. "Nebraska texts me every day and they check on me and my family," he said. "They say I'm their main guy. They know I want to commit somewhere early so they want me to visit early in the season. I'll probably go a couple of weeks after I visit Georgia Tech. "Coach (Dennis) Wagner is my recruiting coach for Nebraska. He is a real good guy and is a good friend of my coaches', Tim McDonald. Tim played at USC and he supports the Trojans, but he doesn't promote them. He just wants his kids to get somewhere and doesn't care where they go. Lots of players go to UCLA from Edison. "Nebraska really needs safeties, they say," Leslie said, "and I'm their main priority. I think I'm more of a strong safety and that's how most schools are looking at me because I'm strong and physical. But I'm also athletic enough to play corner. I'm real aggressive in the box, head-to-head on the tight end. I'm almost like a rover. "Nebraska probably has just a small lead over Georgia Tech," he ventured. "Georgia Tech's in the ACC, one of the best conferences," he said. "Coach BJ (Brian Jean-Mary) came down from Atlanta to watch me practice and offered me right away after that. Georgia Tech plays big-time football and there's a lot to do in the city. "I used to be a fan of Georgia Tech when I was younger. The Yellow Jacket's were my favorite mascot," he said. "Most likely I'll choose between Georgia Tech and Nebraska," Leslie said. "If I was to commit now, it would be to one of those schools. It will be a really hard decision. I've never been to either Lincoln or Atlanta yet, so I don't know what they're really like. Arizona, Washington and UCLA (no offer) have only a slim shot at Leslie, who says he also has offers from Stanford, San Jose State, Nevada and Air Force "Robert Golden is already committed to Arizona and he's my best friend. He plays corner for my team. "Coaches J.D. Williams (secondary) and Tyrone Willingham are both good coaches," he said. "UCLA is close to home and it would be convenient for my family to see me play," Leslie said. "They are a good school and are in a nice area with nice people. They had the Pac-10's leading defense last year. If I went to school in Los Angeles, I'd pick UCLA over USC. A lot of kids dream to play for USC but they are really stockpiled with talent. "UCLA has had good players from Edison like Ricky Manning and Brandon Breazell (wide receiver) will be a senior and Courtney Viney (defensive back) will be a freshman." Leslie isn't attending any college football camps this summer. He reports a 3.3 core GPA and expects to receive results from his June ACT and SAT shortly.

By Bryan Munson BigRedReport.com Posted Jul 3, 2007 The summer camps for Nebraska were arguably the most talented group of players that Bill Callahan has seen since he came to Nebraska. One of those talented players that was supposed to just visit, but strapped on the helmet and gave it a go, was D.J. Woods. Woods left Nebraska impressed and has lined up a second visit to see Lincoln. D.J. Woods, a 6-foot-0 and 166-pound receiver from Strongsville (Ohio), has been busy with the summer trips. One of the places that Woods has seen previously will get a second visit later this month. "Yeah, we are going to go back to Nebraska on July 27th," Woods said. "Nebraska is just a really good place. When I went there, I didn't have real high expectations, but when I left I was in shock." "I was in shock about everything and how it came to me. It was the campus, the football program and the coaches were all really friendly to us. We had a really good time in Lincoln." Now, a lot of people can take their first visit to Nebraska and leave in shock, but what's compelling about Woods is where he has been before. Woods has been to see some of the top programs in the nation. "We have been to Michigan State, Wisconsin, Pittsburgh, Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska and I am going to Auburn and maybe Alabama next weekend." When Woods returns to Lincoln this month he won't have camp to go to and will have some more time to just check things out. That is kind of the idea, the second time around, for D.J. and his family. "I just want to get a feel for everything, you know, just a vibe for everything. I would like to see more of the campus, talk to some students and just learn more about the football program." The Huskers are looking for playmakers at the receiver position. Woods can see himself fitting in nicely into that role at Nebraska. Woods says that the West Coast offense under Bill Callahan is a great opportunity and that he is a match to the offense. "Nebraska is recruiting me to play receiver. I think that it would be a great opportunity for me to go to Nebraska and play in that offense. They spread the ball around and I really like that." "I think that I am play-maker and a deep-threat receiver. I have good speed to be a deep threat and I think that I can be that time of play-maker for Nebraska. I think that I can do everything." Besides upcoming potential visits to Alabama and Auburn, Woods and his family are shutting down the summer trips. It's taken a toll. "I think that's really it. I am getting tired. I think that I will spend the rest of the summer with my team and just working out." Woods won't be ready to make a decision when he does finally shut it down and anticipates that he will be taking all of his visits before committing. "I am going to take all of my official visits this fall. I plan to take all of my trips and then make my decision afterward."
