2009 Outlook
Sophomore defensive lineman Jared Crick was a reliable reserve for the Cornhuskers in 2008, but he is expected to play a much bigger role this fall. Crick emerged during spring practice to become the favorite to line up alongside All-America candidate Ndamukong Suh at defensive tackle on the interior of the Nebraska defensive front.

The 285-pound Crick began his Nebraska career at defensive end, but has added size to his 6-6 frame, providing him the strength to battle in the middle of the defense, while maintaining enough agility to rush the passer.

2008 (Redshirt Freshman)
Crick and fellow redshirt freshman Terrence Moore supplied depth behind Suh and senior Ty Steinkuhler at tackle. Crick played in nine games and made a pair of tackles, with a solo stop against New Mexico State and an assisted tackle at Oklahoma. Crick added a pass breakup against Western Michigan. The play of the front four keyed a Nebraska defense that ranked second in the Big 12 in total defense. The Huskers also improved their sack total from 13 in 2007 to 35 last fall.

2007 (Redshirt)
Crick redshirted his first season at Nebraska and worked with the scout team. He moved inside to tackle in the spring of 2008.

Before Nebraska (Cozad HS)
Crick earned second-team All-Nebraska honors from the Omaha World-Herald and second-team Super-State honors from the Lincoln Journal Star as a senior, while earning first-team Class B honors from both papers. His performance helped Cozad and Coach Ron Bubak compile an 8-3 record and reach the second round of the Class B state playoffs in 2006.

Crick made 68 tackles as a defensive end, including six tackles for loss. Crick also played tight end and caught 15 passes for 284 yards and four touchdowns. Crick recorded 75 tackles and five sacks as a junior en route to Class C-1 all-state honors from the Omaha World-Herald and honorable-mention all-state accolades from the Lincoln Journal Star. Crick participated in the East Meets West All-American Game in Florida.

Crick also led the basketball team in scoring at 12 points per game and rebounding with eight per contest. He also threw the shot put and finished second in the state with a throw of 60 10- 1/4. Crick only visited Nebraska, but did receive numerous other scholarship offers.

Personal
Crick was born on Aug. 21, 1989, and is the son of David and Cindy Crick. He is majoring in history. Crick has volunteered at the F Street Recreation Center, the Legacy Retirement Center and as part of the Huskers' team hospital visits.
