Already a firefighter, drummer and coach, 'humble' ex-Husker will soon be a Hall of Famer, too

Bob Sledge can tap out rhythms on a conga drum, fight fires and teach linemen how to throw a block.

He also played a little football at that school in Lincoln.

Sledge, a former Husker, will be honored next month for his induction into the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame.

He was a standout lineman at Nebraska and played for coaching great Tom Osborne in the late 1980s.

And though he’s proud of his Husker career, you probably won’t learn about it if you meet him at a party.

“He’s humble about it,” said his wife, Dawn Sledge.
