Tyler Shelvin should be given #18

I agree, he dedicated himself, put in the work and now will payoff!

Did you see that other thread where he lifts Joe up like a baby

Hoping he shows up in shape on June 1.

Myles Brennan deserves a mention for paying his dues and waiting his turn. I do think Shelvin is deserving; especially considering the turnaround he’s made. Great story !

Jacoby Stevens most likely will get it being the leader of the defense. He is another player who could have left after trying to find a position and lack of play time. I thought for sure he was going to the nfl but came back. I’m so happy to have both players starting for Bo Pelini.

Not a good enough leader To wear #18, just my opinion though

Last year when the defense was getting run on, who was on the side lines getting in everyone's face and trying to make a difference. Stevens, in case you forgot.
Listened to a behind the scenes podcast on the barbershop, which apparently has nothing to do with cutting hair. It is a discussion group of players and apparently Stevens got included last year. This group was apparently influential. It was new to me, but sounded like a group at the barbershop debating various topics. I wish I know more.

He earned it. IMO he was our best player on defense.

Still amazes me that people think that yelling is real leadership.

So you think the guy who is sitting on his arse with his head down is leadership? I will take the player with some passion. It also did not hurt that Stevens improved his play through out the year. lets see what the lsusports.net bio says:
