Biography

Bob Devaney transformed Nebraska football when he arrived in 1962, collecting two national championships and establishing a culture of excellence that made the Cornhuskers a perennial contender.

He invested as much in young men of character as he did in winning games, and the lessons he taught continue to echo across the Lincoln Memorial Park grounds where admirers now commemorate his leadership.
