I'm posting this here because it may have the biggest impact in Recruiting.

Holy Moly! Something to be really proud about for DONU!

Nebraska's Nation-Leading Academic All-America Total Grows to 325

Shavon Shields (pictured with Director of Athletics Shawn Eichorst) was a two-time first-team
CoSIDA Academic All-American and Nebraska's Male Student-Athlete of the Year in 2016.

University of Nebraska student-athletes produced another outstanding year in the classroom, the community and in competition to continue NU’s tradition of success in 2015-16. The Huskers increased their nation-leading total of all-time CoSIDA Academic All-Americans to 325 with five academic All-Americans across all sports.

Nebraska continued to be the only school in the nation with 300 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, leading No. 2 Notre Dame (251) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (251) by 74. Nebraska remains one of just four schools across all divisions with 200 or more Academic All-Americans, joining Notre Dame, MIT and Stanford (204). NU also extended its nation-leading streak to 45 consecutive years with at least one academic All-American.

who?

He was one of those legacy guys you shouldn't take a risk on. Played guard just like his old man. Obviously he's proof that just 'cause your dad was good doesn't mean you will be any good. 4 years at guard and probably didn't get charged for a single pancake.

Oh he had a few pancakes as well. Not sure they kept track of them however.

On a related note, how many of the AAAs have been in football?

It is why I picked the word "charged" in my post. subtle pancakes.

So glad to see this long-standing tradition of academic success is maintained.
