The play of senior quarterback Ron Kellogg III was one of the main storylines of the Huskers’ 2013 season. A walk-on who earned his scholarship before the 2013 season, Kellogg was one of three quarterbacks who have seen extensive playing time.

Kellogg entered the season as the co-No. 2 quarterback with Tommy Armstrong Jr., behind four-year starter Taylor Martinez. However, Martinez suffered a foot injury that limited him to just four games, leaving the quarterback spot to Armstrong and Kellogg.

Kellogg made the most of his opportunities, seeing significant time behind Armstrong, while starting the final regular-season game against Iowa. Kellogg had 919 passing yards, while completing nearly 60 percent of his passes, including six touchdowns.

Kellogg had one of the most memorable moments in Husker history with a game-winning Hail Mary pass against Northwestern. He also came off the bench at Penn State to lead Nebraska to a come-from-behind overtime win over the Nittany Lions. Kellogg picked up his degree in December and was one of 19 Husker seniors to play the bowl game as a graduate.
