Biography:
Another great rush end in a long line of great rush ends out of Nebraska, Chris Kelsay was the undisputed leader of the much maligned NU defense last season. With Kelsay mising most of the season due to injury, the defense struggled, but Kelsay proved how big of an impact player he was, leading the time in tackles his first game back over half-way through the season. Even with missing six total games last season, Kelsay still managed to lead the Blackshirt defense in sacks, hurries and ranked second on the team in total tackles for losses.
