Tony Green, Wonder Monds, Steve Wieser | Cornhuskers Wire

Husker recruits have noteworthy family ties

Wonderful Monds

Wonder Monds, Defensive Back, 1973 – 1975


Wonderful Terrific Monds, Jr. (yep, that is his real name) is more than just a hall of fame unique name or an Afro that would make Kenny Bell jealous.  Monds was a standout defensive back on some very talented teams.  He was sprinter fast, yet large enough to pack a punch.  He earned All-America honors as a senior and went on to play in the NFL.

84 yards: Rathman scores one for fullbacks
Before Hall-of-Fame Career, Rathman Thought 49ers Might Cut Him - Nebraska  Football - Hail Varsity

Nebraska-born fullback.  Rathman is arguably the greatest fullback Nebraska ever had, owning the position records for yards and tying the mark for touchdowns.  An amazing stat that will probably never be duplicated:  in his senior year (1985) a fullback was the fifth leading rusher in the Big 8.

71 yards: Walker shows off his moves

Technically, Joe Walker was a Rover, but he could just as well be listed solely for his work as a kick returner.  Walker owns, or is near the top of, almost all of the kickoff and punt return records in school history.  His return prowess wasn’t limited to kicks – he also tied the school record for interceptions returned for touchdowns in a career.  The combo makes him one of a handful of players in NCAA history to return a punt, kickoff, and interception for a touchdown.
