Ameer Abdullah's in the Nebraska football record book. 

Here's a sampling of the records Ameer Abdullah holds:

Rushing: First in attempts (813), second in career yards (4,588) and 100-yard games (24), as well as the fourth- and sixth-most rushing yards in a season.

Receiving: Most career TD receptions by a running back (7).

All-purpose yards: Most in a game (341 vs Rutgers in 2014), most in a career (7,186), and the second-, fourth- and eighth-best seasons in school history. Ameer holds the career record by 1,600 yards over Johnny Rodgers. He has the second-most all-purpose yards in Big Ten history.

Kickoff returns: Tied for the longest return (100 yards), most return yards in a game (211), fourth-best single season, and third most in a career.

Scoring: Tied for second with 22 touchdowns scored in a season. Seventh all-time in scoring, and third among non-kickers.





Abdullah made an early splash as a kick returner. In his second career game, Abdullah returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown and set his first school record: Most kickoff return yards (211) in a game. He finished his true-freshman season with 1,020 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns.

A knee injury to Burkhead pushed Abdullah into the starting lineup early in the 2012 season. Abdullah seized the opportunity with 1,137 rushing yards and eight touchdowns. Ameer had over 100 yards in each of his first five starts, something that had not been done since Lawrence Phillips in 1994.

Abdullah kept getting better and better. In 2013, he was one yard shy of 2,000 all-purpose yards, including 1,690 rush yards. Ameer returned for his senior season, stating "my chances of long-term success in life will be greatly enhanced by completing my college education."


Ameer was a force of nature in 2014. 232 rushing yards against Florida Atlantic.  229 yards and two touchdowns against Miami. 208 and three TDs against Illinois. Four touchdowns (and 146 yards) versus Northwestern. A school-record 341 all-purpose yards against Rutgers, including his fourth 200-yard rushing game of the season.

perhaps he should have stayed at LB?

Malcom Hartzog Jr.   was a versatile and highly experienced defender during his time in Lincoln, starting 32 games across multiple positions in the secondary. Known for his high-energy, "pit bull" playing style, he was an honorable mention All-Big Ten selection in 2024 when he led Nebraska with four interceptions.His 2025 season started with a dramatic, game-winning interception against Cincinnati, but a severe lower-body injury in Week 2 forced him to undergo season-ending surgery and take a medical redshirt. Fully recovered by late 2026, he moved to Tucson via the NCAA transfer portal to anchor a rebuilding Arizona secondary in the Big 12

I/we missed 7 and 8 for UW. Some really good current players. Shit.

Darrion Dupree. Junior at Wisconsin.

That's a great high school (academics).

DeJuan Groce was an excellent cornerback, earning second-team All-Big 12 honors as a senior. He finished his career tied for second on the career pass breakup chart, and owns the single-season record with 17 PBUs in 2000. Groce is one of two Huskers to have two interceptions in back-to-back games (Bill Kosch is the other). He was a 2002 team captain and won the Guy Chamberlain Award.

But make no mistake, DeJuan Groce is not on this list for his work in the secondary. Groce is here because he is one of the best return men in school history, trailing only Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rodgers in career punt return yards and touchdowns. Groce owns the fourth- and ninth-longest punt returns in school history, 89 and 83 yards.

In his senior year, Groce racked up a school-record 732 yards on punt returns and scored four touchdowns, including an NCAA-record-tying two against Troy State. For his efforts as a return man, Groce was named All-Big 12 and All-America as a return specialist.

I hope I can afford the legal fees.
