Lincoln, NE — In a stunning and heartfelt gesture, former Nebraska Cornhuskers football legend Ndamukong Suh has donated the entirety of his $10.8 million charitable fund to head coach Matt Rhule’s new stadium project, aimed at revitalizing Nebraska’s football facilities and strengthening the program’s long-term future.
The announcement was made during a press conference at Memorial Stadium, where Suh appeared alongside Coach Rhule and University of Nebraska officials. The former NFL star, known for his dominance on the defensive line and his philanthropic efforts, said the donation reflects his deep-rooted connection to the university and the state of Nebraska.
“Wherever I go, Nebraska pride lives within me,” Suh said. “This program shaped me as both an athlete and a man. I believe in Coach Rhule’s vision and I’m committed to supporting the future of Cornhusker football. This isn’t just about bricks and mortar—it’s about building a culture of excellence, unity, and pride.”
Coach Rhule praised Suh’s generosity, calling the donation a transformative moment for the university. “This gift is more than financial support—it’s a statement of belief in our mission,” Rhule said. “Ndamukong is not only a legend on the field but a leader off it. His commitment inspires our players, our staff, and our entire fan base.”
The $10.8 million will help fund critical updates to Nebraska’s training facilities, locker rooms, and stadium infrastructure. The project is part of a broader initiative aimed at modernizing the university’s athletic campus, providing student-athletes with world-class resources while enhancing the game-day experience for fans.
University officials confirmed that a portion of the new facilities will be named in Suh’s honor, including the “Ndamukong Suh Performance Center,” a state-of-the-art strength and conditioning complex. Chancellor Rodney Bennett expressed gratitude, stating, “Ndamukong’s loyalty and leadership embody what it means to be a Husker. This gift is a legacy that will impact generations.”
With the donation, Suh reaffirms his place as not just a legendary player, but a dedicated ambassador for Nebraska. As plans for the new stadium move forward, his contribution stands as a rallying call to alumni, fans, and the greater community to invest in the Cornhuskers’ future—on and off the field.
