Yes. And one of my all time favorites and I modeled my game after him when I was in high school in the early 2000s. Even had a custom Husker jersey made with his name and number.

He is the prototype of a safety playing for Nebraska. He was one of a kind. There have been some very good safeties in Nebraska football history, but for me he was the best.

I wouldn't argue it, but I'm not sure I'd argue if someone said it was Josh Bullocks. A few might say Mike Minter as well, again, I'm not sure I'd argue a lot.
Yup
yes, i havent seen any other names submitted. weve had some solid players, but none close to his abilities and results.
Mike Minter was a stud too
Mike Minter was a dang good one, but I think Mike Brown was the most all around guy in the back end. Both were good professionals as well.
We have had some pretty big performances from some really rang good safeties over the years. Bullocks and Hagg come to mind as since MBs days, but MB was the super versatile hard nosed DB you want running the back end.

Bret Clarke, 1981-84.
6'4", 225 lbs, ran a legit 4.5 forty. Hit like a truck.
Had a nice pro career with the Falcons until his career was ended by a knee injury.
Clarke was a good one as well.
That ‘81 defense was really good, but I tend to forget a lot of those guys because of how bad the ‘83 defense played.
We've had some really, really good ones, but to me, he is the only safety that truly could impose his will, put the defense on his back if needed, and change a game. That's usually a DL (Suh) or LB (Farley, Williams, David, etc) trait, but Mike Brown could do it, too. He was a special player.
