2009 Outlook
Fullback Kevin Thomsen will enter his sophomore season as one of several players who could figure into the mix for playing time at fullback. The position is wide open following the graduation of 2008 seniors Thomas Lawson and Hunter Teafatiller, and the 6-2, 235-pound Thomsen has the physical tools to help at the position where the focus is primarily on lead blocking in the NU offense.

2008 (Redshirt Freshman)
Thomsen was a reserve fullback, but did not see game action in 2008.

2007 (Redshirt)
Thomsen sat out as a redshirt and worked with the scout team offense.

Before Nebraska (Elkhorn HS)
Thomsen was a first-team Class B all-state selection by the Omaha World-Herald and Lincoln Journal Star following a standout senior season for Coach Mark Wortman at Elkhorn. Thomsen helped the Antlers to a 12-1 record and Class B state runner-up finish.

Thomsen recorded 61 tackles, including a pair of sacks, and four interceptions from his defensive line position, while he also rushed for 223 yards and three touchdowns. Thomsen also earned first-team All-Omaha area accolades from the World-Herald. Thomsen threw the discus and shot put for the Elkhorn track team.
