- Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll (Fall, 2011; Spring, 2012)
2013 Outlook
Sophomore Murat Kuzu will continue to add depth in the Husker backfield during the 2013 campaign. The 5-11, 200-pound Kuzu has battled injuries during his first two years on campus, but should be ready for action this fall. Kuzu was a walk-on from Plano Senior High School, the same high school that produced former Husker I-back Rex Burkhead.
2012 (Redshirt Freshman)
Kuzu added depth at I-back, but did not play in a game.
2011 (Redshirt)
Kuzu redshirted in his first season in the program and worked on the scout team.
Before Nebraska (Plano Senior HS)
Kuzu joined the NU program as a walk-on after a strong prep career at Plano Senior High School in Texas. Kuzu rushed for better than 600 yards and three touchdowns as a senior, and had more than 400 receiving yards and five TD receptions, while also throwing for a touchdown. Kuzu was a second-team all-district selection for his efforts as a senior. Kuzu had a scholarship offer from Doane and interest from Southern Louisiana.

Murat is the son of Mustafa and Gulsum Kuzu and was born on May 19, 1993. He has not declared a major. Kuzu was named to the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll each of his first two semesters. He has volunteered with Husker Heroes, Husker Hotline and local hospital visits.
