Senior Justin Jackson had a breakthrough season in 2012, starting each of the first 12 games at center. Jackson was the anchor of an offensive line that helped Nebraska lead the Big Ten in both rushing offense and total offense. Jackson's season was cut short when he suffered an ankle injury in the regular-season finale at Iowa. His outstanding play throughout the season was noticed as he was an honorable-mention All-Big Ten choice by the coaches.

A former walk-on, Jackson was one of five players to be awarded a scholarship before the start of the season.

Caputo was also a walk-on, not Pensick

went with Jackson cause he helped lead the Big in rushing and total offense

I feel like Nebraska had like 80 of the same dudes at OL all decade long.  I was surprised when I'd look guys up to find out guy A was actually just  rising junior, and then guy B graduated in 2012.  I could not even come close to pinning guys to when they played.

no stand outs

a couple of the best were walk-ons

no all-conference selections

very sad
