Nebraska’s Carl Nicks: A mauling left tackle with NFL-caliber pedigree
In the 2007 season, Carl Nicks was one of Nebraska’s top offensive line performers, starting 11 games at left tackle and earning second-team All-Big 12 honors from the coaches plus honorable mention from the AP[5]. He entered Nebraska as a highly regarded junior college recruit and, at 6-foot-5 and about 325 pounds, brought rare size and power[3]. The big differentiator: he helped fuel Nebraska’s best offensive output in a decade, and his career later translated to the NFL, which says plenty about his ceiling[5].
