Three days before Nebraska’s annual Red-White Spring Game, two Husker football players expanded their already legendary status on Wednesday.

Johnny "The Jet" Rodgers, Nebraska’s first Heisman Trophy winner in 1972, and Will Shields, one of only three Huskers in history to be inducted into both the College and Pro Football Halls of Fame, are cornerstones for the 2016 University of Nebraska Athletics’ seven-member Hall of Fame inductee class.

To commemorate this announcement, Husker Sports Nightly will feature both football legends Wednesday night.
