Defensive End...6-3...235...Lincoln, Neb. (Southwest)
Lincoln Southwest product Ty Steinkuhler adds to a long line of father-son combinations in Nebraska football history. Steinkuhler's father, Dean, won the 1983 Outland Trophy and Lombardi Award in helping Nebraska to one of the most prolific offensive seasons in college football history. Dean's No. 71 is one of 15 retired Husker jerseys. The younger Steinkuhler helped build the Lincoln Southwest football program from the ground up. The Silver Hawks struggled to an 0-9 record in their inaugural season in 2002, but Steinkuhler's play during his junior year did not go unnoticed. He racked up 134 tackles, including 72 unassisted stops, to earn second-team Super State and first-team Class A honors from the Lincoln Journal Star. Steinkuhler excelled on both sides of the ball as a senior for Southwest and Coach Mark King. The Journal Star named him a first-team Super State selection as a linebacker. The World-Herald honored his offensive play, naming him a first-team All-Nebraska pick as an offensive lineman, but listed him as a first-team Class A all-state pick at linebacker. Steinkuhler totaled 163 tackles, including 98 unassisted tackles, with an interception and a fumble recovery as a senior. He also played on the offensive line and helped Southwest make one of the state's biggest improvements with a 5-5 record and the school's first-ever trip to the state playoffs. Steinkuhler is ranked as Nebraska's fifth-best overall prospect by Rivals.com, which lists him as the nation's No. 28 strongside defensive end. PrepStar Magazine tabbed Steinkuhler as an All-Midlands region selection. Ty is the son of Dean Steinkuhler and Sue Steinkuhler. He was born on Sept. 11, 1985. Steinkuhler was one of the first players to commit to Nebraska's 2004 recruiting class, announcing his intentions last June.
Why Nebraska? ? "It is the program I've followed growing up and I've always wanted to go there. Coach Callahan is a great guy and has a lot of experience in both the college and pro ranks. I really liked the coaching staff when I was on my visit there."
