Former Husker Mike Erickson | Husker Legacy, Recruiting & Life After Football

Former NEBPreps standout and Nebraska Cornhuskers offensive lineman Mike Erickson joins Wired Axcess for a powerful, generational conversation. From battling in the trenches in the early 2000s to watching his son commit to the Huskers, Mike breaks down what the recruiting process really looks like from both sides—then vs. now. We dive into controllables in a chaotic recruiting world—social media, decommits, NIL, and why staying true to your values still matters. Mike explains what it means to be Homegrown and why that identity is so important to a program like Nebraska. Mike also reflects on life after Lincoln—from brief stops in the NFL, CFL, and Arena League (his favorite) to finding purpose as an Omaha firefighter for 13 years. When the game ends, what comes next? This episode answers that with honesty, wisdom, and heart.
