The announcement was made earlier today and has sent waves of excitement through the Cornhuskers fan base and the wider football community.
Suh, widely regarded as one of the most dominant defensive players in NFL history, returns to his alma mater with a wealth of experience, leadership, and passion for the game. The former Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers star brings a decorated professional resume, including five Pro Bowl selections, three First-team All-Pro honors, and a Super Bowl championship in 2021.
