Nebraska football player Jared Crick will be presented with the Brook Berringer Memorial Endowed Scholarship before the Western Kentucky game at Memorial Stadium.

The junior defensive tackle from Cozad was a first-team all-conference pick last season. Off the field, he was named to the 2010 Brook Berringer Citizenship Team for his work in the community. Crick volunteered with hospital visits, as a speaker at grade schools and during World War II veterans visits.

Crick will receive the award Saturday night.

Berringer was a quarterback who died in a plane crash in 1996. The scholarship in his name is awarded for excellent character and integrity.

Crick says the scholarship is a great honor and that working as a volunteer motivates him to play hard.
