Naturally, Barrett Ruud felt honored when he learned he was among 28 former Nebraska student-athletes selected for the Husker Power 50-Year Team.
Yet, the always-humble Ruud couldn’t help but smile and roll his eyes when he scanned the list of his honored peers.
“In all honesty,” Ruud said from behind his office desk, “I may be one of the worst performance weightlifters of that whole group, I’m guessing.”
While that statement is probably a stretch, it’s easy to see Ruud pointing to, say, Scott Frost, who’s also on the Husker Power 50-Year Team, to prove his belief.
