Nate Swift is moving up the Cornhusker history record charts at Nebraska.
Swift entered this season in fourth-place in all-time receptions with 103. He was at number three in career receiving yardage at 1,535 and third in career 100 yard games. So far this season, Swift has accumulated
The All-Time Receptions record is the one everyone is talking about, but that's not the ony record Swift is approaching.
