2011 (Sophomore)
Criss was a reserve on the offensive line, but did not see game action.
2010 (Redshirt)

Before Nebraska (Wyoming/Creighton Prep HS)
Criss redshirted as a freshman at Wyoming in 2009, before transferring to Nebraska as a walk-on prior to the 2010 season.
At Creighton Prep High School, Criss helped lead the Junior Jays to an 11-1 record and a state semifinal appearance in 2008. An all-state selection as a defensive lineman, Criss tallied 37 tackles, three sacks and one interception during his senior season, while also playing on the offensive line for head coach Tom Jaworski.
