CU football: Stephane Nembot grows into leadership role with Buffs

BURBANK, Calif. - Stephane Nembot's dreams are as big as he is.

Colorado's senior right tackle wants to start an orphanage back home in his native Cameroon and he plans to start an organization that will provide opportunities for aspiring engineers in Africa to come to America and share their ideas.

Nembot said his mother is the inspiration behind his desire to open an orphanage. His grandmother died giving birth to his mother and she spent part of her childhood in an orphanage. Nembot said when he was a boy, his parents would go to a poor section of his community and cook meals for people there on Christmas Day.
