David was probably the best player, and certainly the best pro, but I think Compton might have had the better career.

Linebacker Lavonte David completed one of the most impressive two-year careers in Nebraska football history with an All-America season in 2011. David had a banner year as a senior in 2011, making his mark as one of the top linebackers in the nation and one of the top defensive players in Husker history.

David earned first-team All-America honors from the American Football Coaches Association and CBSSports.com and second-team accolades from the Walter Camp Foundation. He was also a finalist for the Butkus Award and received Big Ten Linebacker-of-the-Year honors in 2011.

The 6-1, 225-pound David led Nebraska with 133 tackles in 2011.

David totaled 285 career tackles to rank fourth on the Husker career tackles list. David also posted two of the top five single-season tackle totals in school history, including a school-record 152 tackles in 2010.


Compton played all 4 years, finished his career with 247 tackles to rank 12th on the Nebraska all-time tackles chart.

Wow, I thought he had one great year and was out.  I regret my vote.

David is going to be the only guy on this all-decade team that is really impressive
