Randy Gregory was a four-star junior college prospect from Arizona Western College. Even though Gregory missed the entire 2012 season due to a broken leg, his dominant freshman campaign in 2011 in which he collected 82 tackles and 9 sacks was enough for college scouts to recognize his potential in Division 1 NCAA football. Gregory committed to attend Purdue, but ended up changing to the University of Nebraska to play for the Huskers. Gregory decided to forgo his final year of NCAA eligibility and enter the 2015 NFL Draft projected as a high first round draft choice in April.
College Career Overview
After Gregory transferred to Nebraska his impact was felt immediately earning him Nebraska’s Defensive MVP in 2013. His dominant 2013 campaign forced opposing teams to start game-planning around him by double-teaming him at the point of attack. Even though Gregory’s numbers suffered, his impact did not as he still managed to collect 7.0 sacks using his athletic ability off of the edge to pursue the quarterback. He was named to the Big Ten’s First-Team for the second straight season.
