Six Nebraska Cornhuskers football standouts, a state college All-American and two long-time contributors to the Husker football program will be inducted into the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame this fall.
In addition, the Nebraska Chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame will also present the first Nebraska Football Hall of Fame Legend Award to Johnny Rodgers as part of its annual banquet. Rodgers was Nebraska’s first Heisman Trophy winner in 1972. The Omaha native was inducted into the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame in 1973 and was selected for the Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame in 2016.
