Best college football players of all time by jersey numberhttps://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/49147450/best-college-football-players-every-jersey-number30. Mike Rozier, RB, Nebraska | 1981-83Trophy case: Heisman Trophy; Maxwell Award; Walter Camp Award, College Football Hall of Fame
Number to know: 29. Each of Rozier's 29 TDs in 1983 came on the ground, an NCAA record.
Rozier put together one of the best single-season rushing performances of all time in 1983 en route to the Heisman Trophy, when he set the Nebraska record with 2,148 yards on the ground and 29 rushing touchdowns. In addition, he set school records for attempts in a season (273) and career (668) and also set the single-season school record for points (174) and all-purpose yards (2,486). Rozier still holds the school record for career rushing yards with 4,780, and his 52 career touchdowns are best among running backs. Only quarterback Eric Crouch has more.
64. Bob Brown, OT, Nebraska | 1961-63Trophy case: Unanimous All-American, two-time All-Big 8 , College Football Hall of Fame
Number to know: 2. Brown played two ways, both offensive line and linebacker, where he grabbed two fumble recoveries.
At 6-foot-5, 260 pounds, Brown was considered a massive offensive lineman at the time, earning the nickname "Boomer" as his relentlessness helped the Huskers become one of the nation's top programs. Brown led Nebraska to a 10-1 record and its first-ever Big 8 championship, the Huskers' first conference title since 1940. As a linebacker, he also recorded 49 tackles and an interception. Brown was the first African-American to earn All-America honors at Nebraska, and the first All-American to play for Bob Devaney and the Huskers. Brown's No. 64 jersey joins Tom Novak's No. 60 as the only two numbers permanently retired at Nebraska.
79. Rich Glover, DT, Nebraska | 1970-72Trophy case: Outland Trophy, Lombardi Award, unanimous All-American, first-team All-American, Big 8 Defensive Player of the Year, two-time first-team All-Big 8,two-time national champion, College Football Hall of Fame
Number to know: 100. As middle guard (basically nose tackle) on a brilliant Nebraska defense, Glover made 100 tackles in 1972, including 52 solo tackles, by far the most on the team.
Glover was a unicorn. He weighed in under 240 pounds in college, roamed sideline to sideline like a linebacker, rushed the passer like a defensive end and made centers miserable like a great defensive tackle. He became the second Cornhusker to win the Outland Trophy, the first to win the Lombardi and the first of four Nebraska players to win both in the same year. He even finished third in the Heisman voting. As defining as Dave Rimington and Johnny Rodgers were to Nebraska's early-1970s rise, Glover might have been the linchpin for all of it.
93. Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska | 2005-09Trophy case: AP Player of the Year, Rotary Lombardi Award, Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Outland Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award, Heisman Trophy finalist, Big 12 Defensive Player and Defensive Lineman of the Year, two-time first-team All-Big 12, unanimous All-American
Number to know: 1 of 2. Suh is one of two defensive players -- along with Colorado's Travis Hunter -- to win AP Player of the Year.
Suh did everything but win the Heisman in 2009, when he put together one of the most dominant seasons by a defensive tackle. He swept the awards for top defender and top lineman, while becoming the first tackle invited to the Heisman ceremony since Warren Sapp in 1994. Suh recorded 12 sacks, 24 tackles for loss, 26 quarterback hurries and three blocked kicks, while leading Nebraska in tackles for the second straight year. His Big 12 championship game performance against Texas -- 4.5 sacks, seven tackles for loss, 12 tackles -- marked one of the best ever for a college defender. He finished his Nebraska career fourth in sacks (24) and second in tackles for loss (57).
