diminutive end from Omaha Westside High, Guy Ingles. 
As a sophomore in 1968, Ingles caught 14 passes for 146 yards. In Osborne’s 1969 offense, Ingles broke out with 26 catches, 408 yards* and three touchdowns. Against Oklahoma State, Ingles had a (then) school record 163 receiving yards on just five catches. 

Ingles also has one of the great nicknames in Cornhusker history: “Guy the Fly.” It perfectly captured his speed, elusiveness and size (Ingles was listed at 5’9″ and just 158 pounds). I’m guessing defenses found him to be a pest as well.

In 1970, Ingles had 34 catches for 603 yards and a team-high eight touchdowns. Halfway through the season, he became Nebraska’s all-time leading receiver, and the first Husker to surpass 1,000 receiving yards in a career. 

Guy “The Fly” Ingles was a second-team All-Big Eight pick in 1970 and won the Guy Chamberlin Trophy, given to an outstanding senior. Ingles was inducted into the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame in 1995.

Nate Swift was part of Bill Callahan's first recruiting class. After a redshirt year in 2004, he was ready to start rewriting the Husker record books. In 2005, he led the team in the big three receiving categories (receptions, yards and touchdowns). He was the first Husker with back-to-back 100-yard receiving games in 22 years.

Throughout his career, he just kept climbing the career charts. By the end of his senior season in 2008, Swift was the all-time leader in receptions and just three yards short of Johnny Rodgers' record 2,479 receiving yards. Swift's 22 receiving touchdowns were three behind the Jet's record.

In addition, Swift was an excellent punt returner. In 2008, he was second in the Big 12 (and eighth nationally) with 14.8 yards per return. He had an electrifying 88-yard punt return touchdown against Virginia Tech, then the fourth-longest in school history.
