Nebraska Athletics will honor 37 members of the 2014 football team that have been named to the 18th annual Brook Berringer Citizenship Team. The group of student-athletes will be recognized on the field before kickoff of Saturday’s Red-White Spring Game at Memorial Stadium. The group includes 34 members of Nebraska’s 2015 team in addition to three players who completed their eligibility in 2014.
The Brook Berringer Citizenship Team was established by the Husker football program in honor of former Nebraska quarterback Brook Berringer, who died in a plane crash in April of 1996. Berringer was a member of NU’s back-to-back national championship teams in 1994 and 1995. Berringer was also one of the most dedicated Husker volunteers in the community with youth, both in Nebraska and in his hometown of Goodland, Kan.
The team honors players who display a similar love and dedication for volunteering in the community through Nebraska’s nationally recognized Life Skills program. The recipients have completed six or more service projects during the academic calendar year and are in good academic standing.
Senior offensive guard Chris Long was named to the team for the fourth consecutive year, while running back Imani Cross and receiver Lane Hovey are being honored for the third straight year.
Second-time honorees include 2014 seniors Joey Felici, Mike Moudy and Trevor Roach, along with senior receiver Sam Burtch, junior tight end Trey Foster, sophomore offensive lineman Dwayne Johnson, sophomore offensive lineman David Knevel, junior kicker Spencer Lindsay, junior defensive tackle Kevin Maurice, junior running back Graham Nabity and sophomore quarterback Johnny Stanton.
Another 23 members of the football program were named to the Brook Berringer Citizenship Team for the first time.
The Nebraska football team has continued to be among the most active teams in the local community, regularly being a contender for the Life Skills Team Award.
Nebraska Head Coach Mike Riley and Director of Athletics Shawn Eichorst will join members of the Berringer family in making the presentation to the team recipients.
