NUance Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 All the above. And I'll add: Dean Steinkuhler. Played eight-man football in Burr, Nebraska. Also, his sons Baker and Ty. Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I’m not from Nebraska so my “Home Grown” favorites are the two guys that played for NU from my hometown in Southwest Iowa. Todd Millikan Van Brownson Obviously you must be from Shenandoah, I moved to Tabor in 5th grade, went to FM HS. I graduated the same year as Millikan. He was a great baseball player to. Had offers from the likes of Okie St. to play. My claim to fame is that we played them in baseball and he threw a 1 hitter against us. I got the hit. Stuck my bat out and blooped a single over the shortstops head. The other time we played them he played center field and literally threw some one out from the fence at home Ala Bo Jackson. Todd Frain was from Treynor. He was a couple years ahead of me. He played TE at NU also. Was kinda a jerk in HS like all guys from Treynor. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Alex Henery As an Omaha Burke alum (although many years before Alex), it was great to see him succeed at UNL. I wish he would have been able to continue that success in the NFL. He's still young, so he might be able to find that leg again. Quote Link to comment

cg_8 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) You guys are totally forgetting about Brandon Rigoni... edit: crap, nevermind, someone already had him on there... I was half joking, but he's on here Edited June 5, 2015 by cg_8 Quote Link to comment
cg_8 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Mike Fultz - Lincoln High School He was an assistant coach while I was at LHS. Tough coach, but not overly so. I didn't play D, so I never got a chance to get coached by him outside of being yelled to hustle. I sure hustled every time I was around him though. Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 B. Rudd Mack brothers "Its Schlesinger! Its Schlesinger" just for that one call and touchdown alone. Cory will live in the heart of many as the pure image of what a fullback should be and for the beauty of the 'trap' play run to perfection. Johnny the Jet for the most famous call in Husker history "Man, Women and Child that put them in the isle" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJOlzDJiaDw Quote Link to comment
Cy the Cyclone Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I think Roger Craig should count as home grown...I mean Iowa is just Nebraska with trees and you can actually see Memorial Stadium from Davenport if the light is just right. Also Todd Frain who was from Treynor (and got his ass kicked by yours truely through four years of high school...said no one ever) which is actually just a suburb of Omaha. I mean, really...have you ever heard anyone in the history of the United States say..."Oh yeah...I moved to that thriving village of Treynor, Iowa to advance my career in feed store management." No...they live there so they can drive to Omaha to go to work and then go back to Treynor to produce giant children... 1 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I will give a shout out to all the Omaha I-backs that had great success at NU in the 80s and early 90s. Keith Jones Ken Clark Leodis Flowers Calvin Jones Damon Benning Clinton Childs Ahman Green Omaha pumped out some great RB's back in the day. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Ken Clark! Graduated from Bryan and was the most dominate RB in the state his Junior and Senior years. I beliebe he was born in Georgia but I know he attended Bryan his Freshman through Senior years. If my memory recall is correct, I do believe he had a respectable career at Nebraska. Ken Clark had more than a respectable career at NU. He was a great player, and had outrushed Barry Sanders in a super high-scoring game against Okie State in 1987. Quote Link to comment
