Personally, I’d go with Joe Orduna followed by Harry Wilson. How about you?
31 days : Best #31 in Husker history
- Thread starter rrthusker
- Start date
I'm good with those two.
Honorable mention...
- IB Jay Sims. Amazing he was like the #5 IB on the 1995 team behind Phillips, Green, Childs, and Benning and would have been a starter on a lot of other teams.
- FS Jerrell Pippens. Had a couple seasons in the NFL. I recall him as being great on special teams.
- FS Steve Carmer.

These are mine as well. Ted Harvey also wore this number. Heck of an athlete.Total stud at the state track meet.
And in 1978, a sophomore wingback named Maurice McCloney wore #31. Who? He was stuck behind Kenny Brown (more detail when we get to #22) but when he played he was electric. We all thought he'd have a great career, but he transferred to Texass after that season. Not nearly as many kids transferred in those days, and not many at all seemed to leave TO's program. Maurice ended up having a nice career with the Shorthorns.
Pippens for me. I think I may be too young for the two @rrthusker mentioned.
I haven’t been over here in months. Do you post on the free board often @rrthusker ?

Orduna and Wilson for me. Agree that Jay Sims was a great talent.
The other #31 who comes to mind is Ted Harvey, a DB from the 1970s.

I am here quite a bit but don’t post too much. I am much more active on RSS but I enjoy the guys over here.
Tough for Sims to see the field with LP, Ahman, Benning and Childs on that roster.
Steve Carmer as he had a field day against Colorado in 92. Loved that.
It is nice to have someone with rrthusker’s stature treat the members of the JV Board with respect. We are fans too.

If my memory serves me correct, wasn’t joe really fast but had fumble issues. Nothing like dan Alexander though
