The Nebraska Cornhuskers host the undefeated Rutgers Scarlet Knights this weekend, and this surprising Big Ten showdown is getting more attention than anticipated. Kicking off at 4 pm on a relatively weak slate of games, expect this matchup to be the go-to for fans across the country.
In attendance will be class of 2027 4-star QB Trae Taylor, whom the Huskers hope will replace Dylan Raioloa when it's time. However, the key guest of the evening is former All-American defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.
Suh hilariously shared his student ID card issued in July of 2005.
Suh had a remarkable college career at the University of Nebraska, where he played for the Cornhuskers from 2005 to 2009. Suh quickly emerged as one of college football's most dominant defensive players, especially during his senior season in 2009.
As a defensive tackle, he was known for his incredible strength, quickness, and ability to disrupt the passing and running games.
In his senior year, Suh became a consensus All-American and won numerous prestigious awards, including the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, the Outland Trophy, the Lombardi Award, and the Chuck Bednarik Award.
He was also a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, a rare accomplishment for a defensive player, finishing fourth in the voting—an indicator of his impact on the field. His most memorable performance came in the 2009 Big 12 Championship Game, where he recorded 12 tackles and 4.5 sacks against Texas, nearly leading Nebraska to an upset victory.
Suh finished college with 215 total tackles, 24 sacks, and 57 tackles for loss. His dominance at Nebraska solidified his status as one of the best defensive players in school history and set the stage for his successful NFL career.
