2013 Outlook
Junior Joey Felici will look to push for a playing time this fall at a deep and veteran cornerback position. The Omaha native also hopes to earn playing time on the Huskers' special teams unit. The 5-9, 175-pound Felici is a second-generation Cornhusker who joined the Nebraska program as a walk-on from Millard South, one of the state's top prep programs.

Felici is the son of former Husker Tony Felici, a three-year letterwinner and two-time All-Big Eight pick at defensive end from 1980 to 1982. The younger Felici was a two-time Big 12 honor roll selection and was named to the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll in both the spring and fall of 2012.

Before Nebraska (Millard South HS)

Felici was part of an offense that set Class A records for points in a season with 624 and average points per game (48).
