Husker defensive lineman named Nebraska boys athlete of the year
A local newspaper has named a recent addition to the Husker football team as the Nebraska boys' athlete of the year. The Omaha World-Herald has named defensive tackle Tyson Terry as the award winner.
"After putting it all on the line during football season and becoming the state's first four-time state heavyweight wrestling champion, Omaha North's Tyson Terry, a Nebraska commit, is The World-Herald's Boys Athlete of the Year."
Terry finished his prep career with 315 tackles, 48 tackles for loss, 17 sacks, five pass breakups, two blocked field goals, and one touchdown. He missed the majority of his senior year with an injury but managed to make 46 tackles, including nine tackles for loss and two sacks.
He was also a successful high school wrestler. He became the first four-time NSAA state wrestling champion at heavyweight with the victory. Terry disclosed, following his fourth title, that he wrestled with a torn ACL during his senior high school season.
He joins the Huskers as the No. 4-ranked player in the state of Nebraska, according to the On3 Industry Rating.
