The former Husker athletes will be enshrined on Sept. 5 in conjunction with the Husker football season-opener against BYU.

The inaugural Hall of Fame class includes one inductee from every current Nebraska sport, plus an honoree from the men’s swimming program, which was a recognized varsity sport from 1921 to 2001.

Remington is a good choice for the 1st football inductee. If it was in vague to select a OL as a Heisman winner, he probably would have won 2 of them. As it is, the Trophy named after him sets the tone and high standard by which all OL should be judged. We could always use a few more Remington's.

Will Shields and J Rogers are legit for next class But I think Tommie Frazier should be in that class as well - even before Eric Crouch and Mike Rozier.
