ALL-TIME LEADERS IN RECEIVING YARDS FOR NEBRASKA FOOTBALL

NUMBER 13 – MARLON LUCKY (1,379)

HUSKER RUNNING BACK FROM 2005-2008

The first of two running backs to appear on this list is Marlon Lucky, who is 13th in all-time receiving yards for Nebraska football.

Lucky was an electric running back for the Huskers throughout his time in Lincoln. He had a sensational junior year both on the ground and through the air, which landed him on this list.

During that junior year in 2007, Lucky caught 75 passes for 705 yards and three touchdowns… AS A RUNNING BACK. He also rushed for 1,019 yards and nine touchdowns that year on 206 carries, which shows how much of a work horse Lucky was for Nebraska that year.

A running back making a list of leaders in receiving yards is impressive and Marlon Lucky showed he was a very versatile back during his Husker career.
