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.
