Pasadena Husker
All-Conference
hi all:
does anyone know what ever became of doug wilkening and if he was on the team his senior year? i remember him as a part time starting fullback on the 81 and 82 husker teams. according to the roster listings on huskerpedia, wilkening is listed as a sophmore and junior on the aforementioned teams. in addition, i read in the web that he was actually drafted by the memphis showboats of the old USFL in the spring of 1984; however, i don't remember him playing for the 83 team when mark shelleen (sp?) was the starting fullback. the reason i ask this is that i was going through some old (really old) vhs tapes and found one for the 1982 oklahoma game. doug wilkening had a monster game that day and i always thought he would go on to have a really succesful NFL career. i guess not.
