86 days to CFB: Best #86 in Husker history?

[HuskRecruit]

We have Zach Ertz days left until college football. Who’s the preeminent Husker to sport #86?

Honorable mentions/personal favs?

Johnny Mitchell was probably the best, but man I loved watching Dwayne Harris play.

Beat me too those 2.

Having a hard time thinking of 86 even for the Devaney era..

One that came to mind was Ken Spaeth, a good TE in the early Osborne years. I think Matt Spaeth (recent TE for the Bears and Steelers) is his son.

No love for Dorrick Roy?

Dave Ridder? Unfortunately, probably best remembered for a penalty in the '82 Penn State game. Penn State started their "winning" drive (he was out of bounds, dad-gummit!) on their 35 thanks to the 15-yard penalty on our kickoff. I think he's coaching HS football in West Point these days.

Johnny was the best. Need more tight ends in his mold.

Only complaint about him is that if he put forth the same effort on every play his highlight reel would be insane.
