LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Longtime NFL kicker Kris Brown and former NFL defensive end Adam Carriker are among four former Nebraska Cornhuskers to be inducted into the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame.

Brown was the kicker on 1995 and 1997 Nebraska teams that won or shared national championships. Carriker was a two-time first-team All-Big 12 selection in 2005 and 2006 and the Big 12 defensive lineman of the year in 2006.

The hall on Wednesday also announced that 1983 first-team All-Big Eight offensive tackle Scott Raridon and 1979 first-team All-Big Eight kicker Dean Sukup will be inducted along with Fred Davis, who starred on the offensive line for Doane College in 1966-67.

Mike and Julie Jacobson of North Platte will receive the hall's Clarence E. Swanson Meritorious Service Award. Tom and Nancy Heiser of Lincoln will receive the Lyell Bremser Special Merit Award.

The class will be honored at the Sept. 10 game against Wyoming.
