In a stunning show of loyalty, pride, and passion, former Nebraska Cornhuskers football legend Ndamukong Suh has donated a jaw-dropping $10.8 million to Head Coach Matt Rhule’s ambitious stadium project. Suh, a dominant force on the defensive line during his college career and a former NFL star, made the announcement on Saturday, stating that “Nebraska lives within me wherever I go.”
This unprecedented gift is one of the largest single contributions by an alumnus athlete in the history of college sports, and it sends a powerful message—not only about Suh’s deep love for his alma mater but also his commitment to shaping the future of Nebraska football.
The donation will go directly toward the expansion and modernization of the Cornhuskers’ stadium facilities, a project championed by Coach Rhule to enhance player development, fan experience, and recruiting potential. Suh’s contribution is expected to help fast-track critical construction phases, including upgraded locker rooms, state-of-the-art training facilities, and enhanced seating for fans.
“I owe so much of who I am today to the University of Nebraska,” Suh said during the announcement. “It’s more than football—it’s about community, tradition, and pride. I want future Huskers to have the best environment possible to grow as athletes and as people.”
Coach Matt Rhule, visibly moved, praised Suh’s generosity and vision. “This isn’t just a donation—it’s a legacy. Suh’s support tells every current and future player that once you’re a Husker, you’re always a Husker.”
With this inspiring gesture, Suh not only cements his legacy as one of Nebraska’s greatest players but also as a leader who gives back. His donation ignites hope and momentum as the program steps boldly into a new era.
