Report: Former Husker Trev Alberts to be inducted into College Football Hall of Fame

Alberts played for the Huskers from 1990 to '93. He won the Butkus Award his senior year as the nation's top linebacker while earning unanimous All-America honors.
That season, Alberts was named the Big Eight defensive MVP after posting 96 tackles, including 47 solo stops, and a school-record tying 15 sacks. He also forced three fumbles, broke up one pass and had 38 quarterback hurries, all of which were team highs.
 
I never really understood how Trev was considered a linebacker when he won the Butkus. That was the first year of the 43, and he was the rush end/def end. This is somethin that always intrigued me.

When NU switched from the 5-2 to the 4-3, it tools a while for the fans and media to get used to the new formation. Many players were being switched to new positions and even the rosters listed the "Rush ends" as "OLB's". Many considered Trev an OLB during his senior year, although he was really a rush end by today's standard. That is why Trev was awarded the Butkus in 1993.
 
Good for Trev, I guess.

Still don't like him, and will never forgive what he did to UNO, especially the self sustaining wrestling program that won 8 championships in 9 or 10 years.

Lol, my bad. I thought you were a young Buck unfamiliar with that time frame. It was all just semantics, and what NU put on their roster.

Yeah. I was about 10. But my detailed memory starts about '90. I remember the first true unveiling of the 43 against CU in '92. Talk about an a$$ whoopin. Still one of my all time favorite games. Alberts and Hill off the edge? Slaughter.

But I was lookin through the 93 roster, and youre right. It is just a technicality in the terminology. Weird how there's no DE's. All OLB, LB and DT's. Our linebackers were Beler, Anderson, Stewart, and Brinkley. 3 of which were safeties in the 52.

2015 College Football Hall of Fame Inductee Bios​
TREV ALBERTS
University of Nebraska
Linebacker, 1990-93​
One of the most decorated defensive players in Nebraska history, Trev Alberts became the Cornhuskers’ first Butkus Award winner in 1993 as the top linebacker in the nation. He becomes the 17th Husker to enter the College Football Hall of Fame.

A unanimous First Team All-American following his senior season, Alberts was named the Big Eight Defensive Player of the Year and Male Athlete of the Year in 1993. The senior team captain is Nebraska’s all-time career leader in sacks and is tied for the school’s single-season record. A two-time first team all-conference selection, Alberts led Nebraska to at least a share of three conference titles and four bowl appearances, including three-straight Orange Bowl berths. Alberts was named Defensive MVP following Nebraska’s loss in the 1993 Orange Bowl, and he helped the Huskers to an undefeated regular season and the national title game against Florida State at the Orange Bowl his senior year. The Football News Defensive Player of the Year in 1993, he earned Second Team All-America honors as a junior, and he was the Big Eight Defensive Newcomer of the Year in 1990.

Excelling off the field, Alberts was named an NFF National Scholar-Athlete and a First Team Academic All-American following his senior season. The three-time academic all-conference selection was also a recipient of the NCAA Today’s Top Eight Award and an NCAA postgraduate scholarship. At Nebraska, Alberts played for College Football Hall of Fame coach Tom Osborne and alongside Hall of Famers Tommie Frazier and Will Shields and 1994 William V. Campbell Trophy winner Robert Zatechka.

Alberts was selected with the fifth overall pick in the 1994 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts, spending three seasons with the franchise. The Cedar Falls, Iowa, native had his number retired by Nebraska in 1994, and he is a member of the university’s All-Century Team and the state of Nebraska Football Hall of Fame. After his playing career, Alberts spent time as a college football analyst for ESPN and CBS Sports Network, and he now serves as the director of athletics at the University of Nebraska Omaha.
