Roy Helu Jr. was Nebraska’s workhorse back, blending vision, toughness, and big-play production
In the 2010 season at Nebraska, Roy Helu Jr. rushed for a team-high 1,245 yards and 11 touchdowns, including four 100-yard games, and he later finished fourth on Nebraska’s all-time rushing list while setting the school single-game rushing record with 307 yards in 2011. He stood out as a high-intensity, dependable runner who could carry an offense, making him a strong fit for teams that value physicality, burst, and proven production in a lead-back role.[1][6]
