Mohammed Seisay made an impact in his first season in the program in 2012, earning playing time at a deep Nebraska cornerback position, while also seeing action on special teams. The 6-2, 200-pound Seisay was one of five cornerbacks to see significant playing time in 2012 and all five of those players return this year and will continue to battle for playing time.
Seisay is one of Nebraska’s bigger cornerback options, allowing him to match up with taller opposing receivers. Seisay joined Nebraska after one season in the junior-college ranks and previous FBS experience at Memphis.
2012 (Junior)
Seisay was slowed by injury early in the season and missed the first two games. He played in the final 12 games of the year and had seven tackles. Seisay had two tackles each against Idaho State and Arkansas State and added single tackles in three other games.
Before Nebraska (Eastern Arizona JC/Memphis/West Springfield HS)
Seisay was one of two highly regarded junior college prospects in Nebraska’s 2012 class of signees after a strong 2011 season for Coach Bob O’Mera at Eastern Arizona Junior College. Seisay made 22 tackles and recorded six interceptions, including two that were returned for touchdowns. Seisay was regarded as one of the top 10 junior college players in the country by Rivals.com and among the top three defensive backs, while 247 Sports ranked him among the top 20 junior college prospects in the country.
Before transferring to Eastern Arizona, Seisay spent the 2009 and 2010 seasons at Memphis. After redshirting in 2009, Seisay started all 12 games at cornerback for the Tigers in 2010 and earned Conference USA All-Freshman honors. He finished the 2010 season with 39 tackles, including 23 solo stops, two interceptions and three pass breakups. Seisay had a season-high six tackles in three games (East Carolina, Tennessee and UAB).

Seisay played for Coach Bill Renner at West Springfield (Va.) High School, where he helped the 2007 team to a 10-3 record and trip to the playoffs for the first time in 14 years. Seisay had 35 tackles, four interceptions, 10 pass breakups and forced one fumble in 2007 and was named first-team all-district. He also starred in 2006, including a school-record three interceptions against Hayfield High School. Seisay was a first-team all-district pick in both 2006 and 2007 at West Springfield.
