Jeff was a dominating ball carrier for the Tigers in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. As a junior, his 1,831 yards and 264 points helped propel East Butler to a perfect 13-0 season and the 1989 Class D1 State Championship. He set playoff records for rushing yards and points and was named 1st Team All- Conference, 1st Team All-State, and D-1 Offensive Player of the Year. He finished his prep career with 3,754 rushing yards and also set rushing and scoring records in the 1991 Eight Man All-Star Game. Jeff later walked on at the University of Nebraska where his transcendent career would forever change the perception of Eight Man Football players across the state. He became a key member of the Cornhusker’s powerhouse teams of the 1990’s and was a part of winning 4 Big 8 titles and back-to-back National Championships in 1994 and 1995. After being selected as an Honorable Mention All-Big 8 Fullback as a senior, he signed as a free agent with the NFL’s Houston Oilers and San Francisco 49ers. Jeff’s career put a shining spotlight on the extraordinary athletes we have playing at the eight-man level in Nebraska. The NEMFCA is honored to welcome him into the Eight Man Football Hall of Fame Class of 2019.
