- Big 12 Commissioner's Fall Honor Roll (2009)
Senior Brodrick Nickens will look to earn playing time this fall in his final season in the Nebraska program. The 6-5, 310-pound Nickens has spent his first four years as a reserve on the offensive line, including seeing action at guard last fall.
This spring Nickens has made the move to defensive tackle where he hopes to use his size and athleticism to earn playing time at a spot where NU is looking for players to step forward.
