Sunshine State Conference

Henrik Nebrelius • University of Tampa (Men’s Soccer)
Henrik Nebrelius remains one of the most highly-decorated soccer players ever to compete in the Sunshine State Conference. A graduate of the University of Tampa in just three years, Nebrelius’ three-year soccer career rivals what many of the SSC’s elite players accomplished in four years. Nebrelius racked up Tampa career records of 72 career goals and 162 career points, which rank fourth and fifth, respectively, in SSC history. As a freshman in 1995, Nebrelius not only became the first student-athlete in any sport to earn SSC Freshman of the Year and SSC Player of the Year honors in the same year, but he was heralded as the Division II National Player of the Year, as well. Nebrelius would again earn SSC Player of the Year honors in 1997, while also earning first team All-SSC, first team All-Region and first-team All-America honors for three consecutive years. Since completing his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Tampa, Nebrelius has played professionally with several different clubs in his native Sweden. This is the second major honor that the SSC is bestowing on Nebrelius this year. In October, Nebrelius was one of nine forwards and one of five Tampa players selected to the SSC Silver Anniversary men’s soccer team. For the third consecutive year, a men’s soccer player from the University of Tampa has earned induction into the SSC Hall of Fame, giving them the most honorees of any SSC soccer program. He is the ninth men’s soccer player to be inducted into the SSC Hall of Fame.
