  • Big 12 Conference Schools Raise Nine-Year NFL Draft Totals to 277 Alumni Through 2003
    Big 12 Conference Schools Raise Nine-Year NFL Draft Totals to 277 Alumni Through 2003 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Apr. 26, 2003 DALLAS—Big 12 Conference teams had 10 of the first 62 selections in the 35th annual NFL “common” draft (67th overall) Saturday and added a total of 13 for the opening day. The first-day tallies in the 2003 NFL draft brought the number Big 12 standouts taken from 1995-03 to 277. Over 90 Big 12 alumni signed free agent contracts after the 2000-02 drafts, and three of the first 13 standouts (six total in the first round) in the 2003 draft were Kansas State CB Terence Newman (fifth draftee), Oklahoma State DE Kevin Williams (ninth) Texas A&M DT Ty Warren (13th). Last year three Big 12 standouts were selected in the top eight choices (four of the initial 21), and the 2000 draft included three alumni from this conference in the first 20. Colorado, Nebraska and Florida State paced all schools nationally in the 1995-97 era with 21 NFL draft choices apiece. Eleven Big 12 schools also had at least one youngster chosen in the eight-round draft during 1998. Over the last six (1998-03) NFL postings, there were 73 Big 12 Conference selections among the Top 100. There were 217 Big 12 schools’ grid representatives on 2002 NFL opening day rosters from all 12 members after 297 standouts from league members in ’02 entered NFL training camps—both all-time highs for the league. Nebraska (35 alumni) was third among all Division I-A schools in 2002 opening day roster men in the highest professional football configuration while Texas A&M (30) was among the Top Six in total NFL alumni last autumn.

    Man Up! Jump Around! Q and A With Male Fashion Model, Josh Rusniak! Author : Robert D. Cobb Wisconsin. The Dairy State. Home of one of sports most beloved and iconic sports franchises in the Green Bay Packers, The Badger State accounts for almost 70 percent of all dairy products produced and consumed by Americans. When people think of Wisconsin, cows on dairy farms, Miller Light beer, bratwursts being grilled at Lambeau at Packer games and University of Wisconsin students dancing to "Jump Around" at Badger football games at Camp Randall Stadium quickly spring to mind. 1 / 12 Notable athletes that have played for their beloved sports teams include NBA Hall of Famers Lee Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), Oscar Robinson of the Milwaukee Bucks, Robin Yount of the Milwaukee Brewers, Super Bowl champion quarterbacks and NFL MVP's Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers, and former Wisconsin Badger standouts such as NFL Defensive Player Of The Year and All-Pro, J.J. Watt, 1954 Heisman Trophy winner Alan Ameche and 1998 winner Ron Dayne. Notable models and entertainers that call The 'Sconi include Heather Graham, Bob Uecker, Frank Caliendo, Chris Farley, Gene Wilder, Jessica Szohr, Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe. Perhaps male fashion model, Josh Rusniak will the next to add his name to the list. 2 / 12 Currently a student at Wisconsin and studying business, the 19-year-old 6'1, 185-pound Rusniak hopes to attain his NASM (National Academy Of Sports Medicine) personal trainer certification before his upcoming 20th birthday. Recently signed with FS Agency out of Toronto, Canada and DAS Miami, Josh's future in the world of 3 / 12 modeling appears to be both promising and a very bright one.
