Barret Pickering Earns Big Ten Honors

The freshman kicker was named co-Big Ten special teams player of the week after making three field goals Saturday.

The Huskers won one of Big Ten-est games they have played as members of their new conference. In a 9-6 victory over Michigan State, Nebraska’s freshman place kicker increased his career long from 35 yards (against Michigan) to 36 and then 47 yards in the fourth quarter.

For his efforts, Barret Pickering was named the Big Ten Co-Special Teams Player of the Week. It is the second straight week a Husker has been honored by the conference, after both senior running back Devine Ozigbo and freshman quarterback Adrian Martinez earned conference awards last week.

The weekly award is the first of Pickering’s career. On a day when the pregame ceremonies included a tribute to the Late Sam Foltz and Mike Sadler, he became the first Husker to be named Special Teams Player of the Week since Sam Foltz in 2015.
