Nebraska legend Ndamukong Suh named a 'no-brainer' for the College Football Hall of Fame
Nebraska legend Ndamukong Suh named a 'no-brainer' for the College Football Hall of Fame A former Nebraska defensive lineman has been called a lock for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame as a member of the 2026 class. On3's Andy Staples named Ndamukong Suh one of his seven 'no-brainers' for the Hall of Fame. Suh was joined on Staples 'lock list' by Auburn's Cam Newton, Pitt's Aaron Donald, Florida's Percy Harvin, LSU's Alan Faneca, former TCU head coach Gary Patterson, and former Boise State and Washington head coach Chris Petersen. Suh had a legendary career for the Huskers, with his 2009 season regarded as one of the greatest individual defensive seasons in college football history. During that year, Suh played in 14 games and recorded 85 tackles, 20.5 for loss, and 12.0 sacks. He was a finalist for the 2009 Heisman trophy and was the first defensive player named the Associated Press College Football Player of the Year. Staples described just how dominant Suh was that year. "Former Alabama tailback Mark Ingram also is a nominee this year, and I suspect he and Suh will both make the class. But with all due respect to Ingram, who was incredible in 2009, Suh was the best player in college football that season. Suh was the No. 1 vote on my first ballot as a Heisman Trophy voter because he simply wrecked every offense he played." Now, he is getting an opportunity to be immortalized among the college football greats. One has to think that he will be in elite company sooner rather than later. The 2026 Hall of Fame ballot includes 79 players and nine coaches from the Football Bowl Subdivision and 100 players and 35 coaches from the divisional ranks. The announcement of the 2026 NFF College Football Hall of Fame Class will be made in early 2026. The induction will take place on December 8, 2026.

Ndamukong Suh Discusses Contract Situation That Led to Him Leaving the Team
Back in 2015, the Detroit Lions surprisingly lost their best defender to free agency when Ndamukong Suh left for the Miami Dolphins. The move came after a dominant season from Suh where he posted 8.5 sacks and 21 tackles for loss on his way to earning All-Pro First Team honors for a second consecutive years. Advertisement Now Cincinnati Bengals edge Trey Hendrickson finds himself in a similar situation. Hendrickson was responsible for a league-leading 17.5 sacks on his way to a spot on the All-Pro First Team and a second place finish in the Defensive Player of the Year voting. Unlike Suh, Hendrickson still has a year left on his contract. However, he has made it clear that he has no intention of playing that year without a new deal getting worked out first. Former Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong SuhAndrew Weber-Imagn Images Suh recently decided to chime in on Hendrickson's contract situation with the Bengals in response to an update on the lack of talks between the two sides. In a social media post, Suh discussed the circumstances that led to his exit from the Lions. Suh ended up signing a massive (at the time) contract with the Dolphins. The six-year, $114 million deal he signed was the largest ever for a defender when he signed it. Advertisement It was also worth more per year than the three-year, $53 million contract extension Matthew Stafford had signed with the Lions two years earlier. The Lions have been much better about paying their homegrown stars in recent years. Amon-Ra St. Brown and Penei Sewell are both among the most well-paid players at their positions. Kerby Joseph recently became the NFL's most expensive safety. They even paid a defensive tackle as Alim McNeill currently has the fifth-largest contract at his position. Things didn't work out between the Lions and Suh, but the current front office is clearly handling things differently and that has worked out pretty well for both the franchise and the team's core.

Sponsored Content How Vertical Farming Is Strengthening Food Security in Manitoba
The Problem For decades, food insecurity has plagued Manitoba's isolated northern communities. In these areas, high transportation costs make healthy food harder to find and more expensive for individuals and families. Dr. Miyoung Suh, professor in the Department of Food and Human Nutritional Sciences at UM Now, rising tensions – including U.S. threats to place tariffs on Canadian agricultural exports – are exposing vulnerabilities in Canada's food supply chains. If trade is disrupted, it could become even more difficult to get affordable produce into remote areas. 'Food security is increasingly tied to global trade dynamics,' says Dr. Miyoung Suh, a professor in the Department of Food and Human Nutritional Sciences at the University of Manitoba (UM). 'When access to affordable, high-quality foods is restricted, we see rising rates of diabetes and obesity, especially in northern Indigenous communities. The Solution In response, a team from UM is working in Northern Manitoba with Opaskwayak Cree Nation (OCN) to address health challenges and support local food sovereignty. Together, they identified a local solution: Smart Vertical Farming (SMART-VF). This innovative, space-efficient system uses computer-monitored lighting and climate control to grow fresh herbs and vegetables year-round. By producing food directly in the community, SMART-VF reduces reliance on costly imports and ensures a steady supply of fresh food. Suh says the concept is showing promise. Opaskwayak Cree Nation (OCN) Smart Vertical Farming 'The ability to grow food locally – regardless of what's happening south of the border – offers communities a measure of sovereignty and stability,' Suh says. 'We're not just trying to improve fresh vegetables access; we're trying to change the trajectory of chronic health conditions to help combat disease. Initial research with these vegetables has already shown encouraging results in reducing blood pressure and obesity, with further data on diabetes expected by the end of 2025. The Impact By supporting communities to produce their own food, this research reduces dependency on imports and creates year-round access to fresh, nutritious food. 'For generations, colonialism has disrupted our connection to the land and traditional food systems. SMART-VF gives us the tools to grow food on our terms, provide food security and build a healthier future within our community', explains Stephanie Cook, Smart Farm Manager at the Opaskwayak Health Authority. 'We're not just trying to improve food access; we're trying to change the trajectory of chronic health conditions' This local supply helps lower costs and barriers, while strengthening local economic development. 'The produce will be cheaper, making it more affordable. It will also be more accessible, making it easier for people to buy vegetables and incorporate them into their everyday diet,' Suh says. 'Additionally, the facility will provide employment opportunities in crop management and tech-driven agriculture.' For nearly 150 years, the University of Manitoba has transformed lives through groundbreaking research and homegrown innovation. We push the boundaries of knowledge and do the hard work here in Manitoba to move our community and the world forward. Our researchers tackle society's most pressing challenges, from healthcare and sustainability to Arctic accessibility and security, delivering solutions that make a real impact. With a spirit of determination and discovery, we are shaping a better future for our province and beyond.
