LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A former Nebraska football player has been sent to prison for burglary.

Online court records say 27-year-old Rickey Thenarse (theh-NARS’) was given three to six years at his sentencing hearing Tuesday in Lincoln. Prosecutors say he broke into a Lincoln home on Jan. 14, 2015, and stole several items. Thenarse pleaded no contest and was convicted of a felony burglary charge after prosecutors dismissed a second charge related to another break-in.

Thenarse played safety for the Huskers from 2006 through 2010 and played in three preseason games as a member of the NFL Seattle Seahawks in 2011.
