The 2007 secondary is a group that features more depth than any other season in recent memory. Grixby’s Rankings Grixby is a versatile performer, playing a key role on special teams in addition to hiis National Big 12 defensive work. Kickoff Returns 47th 25.4 Kickoff Returns 5th 25.4 Grixby started the season on a strong note, notching three tackles, including one Interceptions t-79th 0.33 Interceptions t-7th 0.33 tackle for loss, against Nevada on Sept. 1. The Omaha native’s efforts helped the Husker Passes Defended t-5th 1.17 defense hold the Wolf Pack to just 185 yards, the second straight Nebraska opponent to gain less than 200 yards after Auburn had just 178 in the 2007 Cotton Bowl. Grixby added three solo tackles and two pass break-ups on Wake Forest’s final drive to help secure Nebraska’s 20-17 win over the Demon Deacons. The Omaha, Neb., native made his biggest impact of the season in Nebraska’s conference-opening win over Iowa State on Sept. 29. Grixby notched two interceptions and a key pass breakup in the game, while also adding a career-long 51-yard kickoff return to set up Nebraska’s first touchdown. Additionally, two of Grixby’s three major defensive plays resulted in touchdowns, including his pass breakup, which was subsequently intercepted by linebacker Bo Ruud and returned 93 yards for a score. Grixby’s second interception also set up a six-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Sam Keller to fullback Thomas Lawson. Grixby is also the go-to-guy in Nebraska’s return game, where he averages 25.4 yards per kickoff return after that huge 51-yard return against the Cyclones, as well as a solid 35-yard return against Missouri last weekend. Grixby ranks fifth in the conference in kickoff returns and 47th nationally.
