Seven Husker standouts will be recognized for their Nebraska tenures as members of this year's Hall of Fame class.
The 2024 inductees were announced Thursday as the chosen members to be added to the program's hall of fame. The seven selected include offensive lineman Keven Lightner, safety Tyrone Byrd, linebacker Terrell Farley, defensive end Chris Kelsay, defensive tackle Jared Crick, running back Rex Burkhead, and lineman Monte Johnson.
Lightner, a tackle in the mid-1980s, was a first-team All-Big Eight selection in 1987 and a three-year letterwinner. Byrd was a safety in the early 1990s, just missing Nebraska's championship window in that decade. The defensive back was a first-team All-Big Eight selection as a senior in 1992. Farley, a linebacker in the mid-90s, was a standout Blackshirt who earned first-team All-Big Eight honors and was the Big Eight Defensive Newcomer of the Year in 1995 in which the Huskers earned the national title. Kelsay, a defensive end from Auburn, Neb., was a two-time All-Big 12 selection and aided the Huskers to the 2001 BCS National Championship game.
