  • Nebraska Football Hall of Fame
    NEBRASKA FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2016 Dean Sukup (Nebraska) - A first-team All-Big Eight kicker and a first-team academic All-Big Eight selection in his only season as a starter in 1979, Dean Sukup is part of a long line of outstanding Husker place-kickers. A walk-on from Cozad, Neb., Sukup kicked a pair of 52-yard field goals on the 1975 freshman team, before redshirting in 1976. He backed up starting kicker Billy Todd in 1977 and 1978, before taking the starting role as a senior in 1979. Sukup captured All-Big Eight honors by providing the margin of victory in Nebraska’s road wins at Iowa (24-21) and Missouri (23-20). Nebraska finished 10-2 with its only losses coming at Oklahoma (17-14) and to Houston (17-14) in the Cotton Bowl in the final two games of 1979. Sukup made 12-of-17 field goal attempts, including a season-long 41-yarder against Kansas, and 40-of-44 PATs to finish with 76 points as a senior. He went 2-for-2 on PATs as a redshirt sophomore in 1977 and 6-for-6 on PATs as a junior in 1978 to finish his career with 84 total points. At age 9, Sukup won the 1966 National Punt, Pass and Kick Competition during halftime of an NFL game in Miami. He was also an outstanding high school golfer and was the 1970 Nebraska Junior Golf Champion. He earned his bachelor’s degree as a business major at Nebraska in 1979, before earning his law degree in 1982.
