Six former Huskers have been selected for the 2021 University of Nebraska Athletic Hall of Fame Class.
The class includes Therese Alshammar (women’s swimming & diving, 1998-99), Jordan Burroughs (wrestling, 2007-11), Bob Cerv (baseball and men’s basketball, 1947-50), Kelsey Griffin (women’s basketball, 2006-10), Larry Jacobson (football, 1969-71), and Cathy Noth (volleyball, 1981-84). The six members of the class came to Nebraska from five states and one foreign country.
The Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place October 1, the Friday before the Homecoming football game against Northwestern. The ceremony will include the 2020 class of Amanda Burgoyne (bowling, 2004-07), Eric Crouch (football, 1997-2001), Sam Francis (football and track and field, 1935-37), Maurtice Ivy (women’s basketball, 1985-88), Jordan Larson (volleyball, 2005-08), and legendary volleyball head coach Terry Pettit.
The classes will be enshrined with a granite plaque and the names of their members on the University of Nebraska Hall of Fame Plaza, which is publicly accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week on a walkway that stretches from just outside of East Memorial Stadium to the historic NU Coliseum.
