LeRoy Etienne was an impact linebacker for the Husker teams of the mid 80s.  Big, yet fast, he lettered as a freshman and went on to earn All Big 8 honors twice.

Aside from his standout play on the field, I’ll always remember his Louisiana heritage and how the papers played up his Creole roots.

Tony Felici was a relatively small defensive end, even by the standards of the early 80s – his playing weight was listed as 205 – but that did not stop him from being a presence on the defensive line. An Omaha native, the two-time All Big 8 pick, he recorded 14 sacks and made numerous tackles for loss.

One of my favorite positions to watch is the wedge breaker on kickoffs. He’s the guy right in the middle of the field whose job it is to run as fast as he can and explode through the return team’s blockers. Eric Martin was one of my all time favorites to watch. He had a big body and was like a locomotive coming down the field. There are countless examples of him absolutely blowing up return men and blockers, including a rather infamous hit against Okie State.

Virtually anonymous even among real college football fans.  I guess it's because his final season was hampered by an injury.
Was a big boy and finished 3rd for the Heisman in '73.  Also, because he directly preceded Earl, that doesn't help him being in the consciousness, either.
A legit dude that should be remembered.

My parents really liked him, maybe even more than Earl.  

My Dad used to do press for Longhorn games (he was the GM for KOKE-AM/FM which was the radio station that carried Longhorn broadcasts at the time).  He tells a story about a quote from Darrell Royal, when a reporter once commented that "Roosevelt Leaks seems to get up real slow after being tackled."  Royal paused, then responded, "That's okay, he goes down real slow, too."
