Jamie Burrow got the opportunity to start in 2001. Twice, he was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week. In the epic 2001 game against Oklahoma, Burrow had 17 tackles. His fourth-quarter sack ended OU’s comeback hopes. He was a second-team All-Big 12 selection and helped lead the Blackshirts to the Rose Bowl.

You may not know this, but Jamie is part of a family with deep Husker roots. His little brother Dan – a safety – also played for the Huskers.

Their dad, Jimmy, played at Nebraska in the 1970s and later was a graduate assistant under Frank Solich. When Solich went to Ohio University, the elder Burrow followed.  Jim was Solich’s defensive coordinator at Ohio from 2005-2018.

1988 (Senior)
LeRoy Etienne (pronounced ay-TEE-en) claimed first-team All-Big Eight honors for the second straight season as Nebraska’s starting strong-side linebacker in 1988. The 6-1, 230-pounder from New Iberia, La., produced career bests with 79 total tackles, including 52 solos, while adding eight tackles for loss (35 yards) with three sacks (20 yards). He also notched three pass breakups on the season. Etienne closed his Blackshirt career with a monster 12-tackle performance that included seven solos in the 1989 Orange Bowl against Miami. Etienne led Nebraska to the Big Eight title with an unbeaten (7-0) conference regular season on its way to an 11-2 overall record. The Blackshirts finished sixth nationally in pass defense (134.8 ypg) and seventh in total defense (262.8 ypg).

A four-time letterman, Etienne finished his Husker career with 195 total tackles (115 solos), including 13 TFLs (42 yards) with four sacks (21 yards). He added seven pass breakups and one fumble recovery. He also played in the East-West Shrine All-Star game following his senior season.
