Nevada's star player Jimmy "Rabbit" Bradshaw was a second-team halfback on the 1921 College Football All-America Team selected by Malcolm McLean.[3] McLean also selected Bradshaw as the first-team quarterback on his 1921 All-Western team. McLean wrote: "The Nevada star, while not a large man, is quick as a flash, a wonder on a running team and has been compared to Walter Eckersall, former Maroon star as an all-round player. He is one of the greatest open-field runners in the country."[4]

Will Martin was Nevada's 1921 team captain.[4]
