CJ was the first that came to mind as well.Calvin Jones.
Calvin Jones.
I agree, this number deserves both an offensive and defensive player.Calvin Jones on Offense and Mike Knox on Defense...
Jay Foreman and Jon Hesse also very good choices..And I can’t forget Bill Olds of the 71 National title team..
Great list!So many to pick from...
IB Clavin Jones. First that came to mind for me as well. One in a string of successful IBs who left entered the NFL draft before exhausting their eligibility.
LB Jay Foreman (version 2; he wore #56 early in his career).
DE Jay Moore. Talk about a guy who put on a TON of muscle his first year in the program. I think he went from 210 to 260 during his redshirt year.
Honorable Mention...
NT Mick Stoltenberg: It's a shame the injuries he had to battle.
TE Mike McNeil: Getting shifted around late in his career really hurt his production, I think Shawn Watson was overthinking.
MLB Jon Hesse: Academic All-American. Favorite memory of him was a blocked punt at Texas Tech in 1996.
LB Mike Knox: Tackling machine in 1983 before suffering a knee injury. Still had a productive senior season after sitting out a year. His Huskers.com profile says he went 27-1 in Big Eight games and was one game short of becoming the first player in Big Eight history to letter four times on teams that never lost a league game.
Futures consideration: OLB Garrett Nelson
I agree, this number deserves both an offensive and defensive player.
Good names above. Jones was a really good IB, Foreman an excellent LB and Knox was an absolute beast before blowing out his knee.
But I'm going with Bill Olds - the forgotten man in the Tagge, Kinney, Rodgers backfield. Hardly ever saw the ball, but the Colts still grabbed him in Round 3.
Garrett Nelson and it isn't close
I'm joking, feelin like a smart ass today.He has a long way to go to top the guys listed.

Not sure, but I think he was #56 and then changed to 44 when it became available.Jay Foreman was the first who came to mind for me, but can't remember if he kept the number or ended up changing later in his career?

Thanks for posting this each day I have enjoyed itCalvin Jones.
It’s crazy how you see certain numbers and a million players pop in your head while you see others and it’s crickets
Agree. Especially when you hit the ones who are your all-time favorites. I loved Calvin Jones as a kid and he was my first jersey I got outside of Memorial stadium.
