2009 Outlook
Redshirt freshman Brent Moravec will look to compete for playing time in a young, but talented Nebraska secondary. Moravec will head into fall camp as a reserve free safety behind seniors Matt O'Hanlon and Rickey Thenarse who each have extensive starting experience. The 6-0, 185-pound Moravec could also push for a role on the Huskers' special teams units.

A walk-on from Grand Island, Moravec carries a 3.397 cumulative grade-point average and has been named to the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll each of his first two semesters.

2008 (Redshirt)
Moravec redshirted and worked on the Husker scout team during his first season in the program.

As a senior, Moravec earned honorable-mention Class C-1 all-state honors from the Omaha World-Herald after finishing third in the 100-meter dash and seventh in the 110-meter high hurdles.
