The Nebraska Football Hall of Fame Class of 2006:
Mike Minter - A four-year letterwinner as
one of the best defensive backs in school history, Minter helped
the Huskers to national titles as a rover in 1994 in 1995.
The Lawton, Okla., native earned All-Big 12 honors as a senior
in 1996, when he joined fellow 2006 Hall of Fame inductees
Chris Dishman and Jared Tomich as team captains. Although he
missed most of the 1994 season with an injury, Minter ended
his NU career with 134 tackles, including eight tackles for
loss, while adding seven interceptions. Minter was a second-round
NFL Draft pick of Carolina in 1997, and he helped the Panthers
to an appearance in Super Bowl XXXVIII. Minter has spent nine
seasons with Carolina and is the club's all-time leading tackler
with more than 700 stops in 132 career games.
