This list of Nebraska Cornhuskers in the College Football Hall of Fame shows the twenty players and seven coaches of the Nebraska Cornhuskers football program who have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Three Cornhuskers – tackle Ed Weir and head coaches Dana X. Bible and Fielding H. Yost – were members of the Hall's inaugural class in 1951.[1] Bob Brown, Guy Chamberlin, and Will Shields are also enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.[2]
Five inductees played or coached at Nebraska but are not claimed by the school as an enshrined representative.[2] Barry Alvarez and Francis Schmidt played at Nebraska but are in the College Football Hall of Fame for their coaching tenures at other schools.[3][4] Tony Blazine, Pete Elliott, and Gomer Jones each served on NU's coaching staff but are enshrined for their playing careers.[5]
