- Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll (Spring, 2012)
Senior Quincy Enunwa is a key part of one of the nation’s top returning receiving corps and one of the best collection of wideouts in Nebraska school history. The 6-2, 225-pound Enunwa will once again provide quarterback Taylor Martinez with a big target this fall, and he is also an imposing physical blocker on the perimeter, helping Nebraska feature one of the nation’s top running attacks.
Enunwa and juniors Kenny Bell and Jamal Turner combined for better than 120 catches and 1,750 yards last season, and are poised for even bigger production in 2013. Enunwa and Bell each topped 40 receptions last season, marking just the fifth time in school history NU has had two players catch 40 passes in a season.
Enunwa was in the starting lineup for every game in 2012 and finished the season second on the team with 42 receptions and 470 receiving yards. He added his third career touchdown against Idaho State. Enunwa enters his senior year with 64 career receptions to rank just outside the top 20 on the NU career chart, and he needs 227 receiving yards to join the Nebraska 1,000-yard receiving club.
A California native, Enunwa will enter the 2013 season with a catch in 14 consecutive games.
2012 (Junior)
Enunwa started all 14 games as a junior, and caught at least one pass in every contest, with five games with at least four receptions. He caught a career-high six passes against both Southern Miss and Northwestern and had a career-best 110 receiving yards against the Wildcats.
Enunwa opened the year in strong fashion with then-career highs of six catches for 70 yards against Southern Miss. He caught a combined five passes the following two weeks against UCLA and Arkansas State, then made the most of his one catch against Idaho State, hauling in a 35-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter.
After combining for three catches in the opening two games of Big Ten play, Enunwa produced his best game as a Husker with a career-high 110 yards on a career-high-tying six catches. Enunwa was Martinez’s favorite target in the fourth quarter, as he had four catches for 74 yards on NU’s two fourth-quarter scoring drives to rally from 12 points down for a 29-28 win.
Enunwa caught two passes against Michigan, then had three catches for 37 yards at Michigan State, including a 22-yarder on NU’s game-winning drive in the final minute. Enunwa had four catches for 65 yards against Minnesota, then tied for the team lead with five receptions for 51 yards in the Big Ten title game. Enunwa closed the year with two receptions against Georgia.
2011 (Sophomore)
Enunwa was one of six receivers who saw the majority of the playing time in 2011, and he played in every game and made seven starts. Enunwa finished with 21 receptions for 293 yards and two touchdowns. He had a career-high four catches for a career-best 58 yards in the opener against Chattanooga, including a 31-yard catch in the first quarter.
Enunwa made two big plays in a 42-29 win over Fresno State. He caught a 16-yard TD pass in the third quarter to give NU a 21-20 lead. Earlier in the game, Enunwa caused a fumble following a Taylor Martinez interception, and Nebraska recovered to prevent a Bulldog scoring opportunity.
Enunwa had a 30-yard catch at Wyoming and a 29-yarder at Wisconsin, both of which set up Husker touchdowns. Enunwa made his fourth catch of at least 25 yards against Ohio State, grabbing a career-long 36-yard catch for a third-quarter touchdown to pull NU within 27-20. Nebraska rallied for a 34-27 win after trailing by 21 points in the second half. Enunwa added multi-catch games in each of the final four regular-season games, including three each against both Michigan and Iowa. He had a 19-yard catch in the fourth quarter against the Hawkeyes to set up the game-sealing touchdown.
2010 (Freshman)
Enunwa played in 10 games as a true freshman, including each of the final five contests. He had a 10-yard reception in the season opener against Western Kentucky.
Before Nebraska (Rancho Verde HS)
Enunwa was a key offensive weapon for Coach Pete Duffy's 11-1 Rancho Verde team that advanced to the second round of the California state playoffs. Enunwa caught more than 40 passes for approximately 600 yards and 15 touchdowns as a senior. His play earned him first-team All-Inland Valley League honors, and he was selected to play in the Inland Empire All-Star Game.
Enunwa first exploded as a threat in 2008, when he was also a key part of the Rancho Verde offense. Enunwa was ranked among the nation's top 70 wide receivers by Rivals.com and among the top 85 players in the state of California by the recruiting service.
In addition to his football talents, Enunwa was also an accomplished high jumper, finishing third in the league with a jump of 6-5. Enunwa also visited Washington State.

Quincy is the son of Henry and Ngozi Enunwa and was born on May 31, 1992. He is an economics major and was named to the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll this spring. Enunwa has volunteered with the Husker Heroes program and team hospital visits.
