2013 Outlook
Senior Brandon Chapek will head into the 2013 season in hopes of earning playing time on a veteran Nebraska offensive line. Chapek saw the first action of his career in 2012, and hopes to add depth at offensive tackle this season, a spot where NU returns three seniors with significant starting experience.
The 6-5, 305-pound Chapek is a standout in the classroom, carrying better than a 3.8 cumulative grade-point average while majoring in biological sciences.
2012 (Junior)
Chapek added depth on the offensive line and appeared at tackle in NU's wins over Arkansas State and Idaho State.
2011 (Sophomore)
Chapek provided depth on the offensive line, but did not play in a game.
2010 (Redshirt Freshman)
Chapek was a reserve tackle, but did not see game action.
2009 (Redshirt)
A walk-on, Chapek redshirted and worked with the scout team.
Before Nebraska (Bishop Neumann HS)
Chapek was a standout at Bishop Neumann High School in Wahoo. Chapek was a first-team Class C-1 all-state pick as an offensive lineman by the Omaha World-Herald, Lincoln Journal Star and Associated Press. Chapek made 43 tackles on defense and his play as a senior helped Neumann to an 8-3 record and a trip to the second round of the state playoffs. Chapek also provided impressive play as a junior, helping Bishop Neumann to a 12-1 record and a Class C-1 state runner-up finish. Chapek qualified for the state meet in the discus in 2008 and was an academic all-state pick in basketball twice.
