Homegrown Husker power back with old-school toughness
In the 2001 season, Paul Kastl was a reliable Nebraska fullback/running back depth piece, appearing in 8 games with 8 carries for 32 yards and a 19-yard reception, while his career line at Nebraska finished with 14 carries for 58 yards in 30 games. He was a Lincoln Pius X standout who still holds his school’s all-time record for rushing yards per game, and Nebraska Greats notes he was a powerful part of one of the nation’s top rushing offenses. The fit? A grinder: physical, team-first, and built for dirty work rather than headline grabs.
