Wild Bill Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 David Pillen played fullback, defensive end, linebacker and long snapper for Coach Tom Stuart at Stephen F. Austin. The versatile Pillen forced 15 fumbles in his career and made 115 tackles. At fullback, Pillen carried the ball 23 times for 145 yards in his career. The 5-11, 230-pound Pillen is the son of former Husker linebacker Clete Pillen, who played at Nebraska from 1974 to 1976. David’s brother, Mark, is a junior on the Husker golf team. Badass!

eoltmer Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Anyone hear from Pillen about how things are going? Quote Link to comment
huskerfan500 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I am guessing it will be agianst team rules to post on message boards, it is a shame and would be cool if he could give us inside news but no sense of getting in trouble Quote Link to comment
discoverer27 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I don't know David but I do know his dad, Clete. I know his uncle Jim very well. Most of the posters here are probably to young to know the Pillen/NU legacy. Clete was All Big 8 as a linebacker and set records for tackles as previously noted. Uncle Jim started at monster (safety) in the late 70's and was All Big 8 and an Academic All American . He recovered Billy Sims' (Heisman) fumble on the Husker 3 yrd line late in the game in '78 to save the game and beat OU for the first time in TO's career. Sports Illustrated had a two page spread photo of Jim with his hands raised above his head holding the football after the recovery. I have an autographed copy. So David has just a bit of genetics going for him. Oh, and by the way, they are both very classy individuals. Quote Link to comment
topekahusker Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Thanks guys. Today has truly been an amazing day as well as a dream come true. I was in a couple of classes with your dad in business school when he played at the 'U'. He was a serious student too and ran circles around me scholastically and physically. Keep a focus on the books too. Good luck to you in achieving all your goals. Quote Link to comment
