ANDREW CARPENEAN/WORLD-HERALD NEWS SERVICELINCOLN — Ethan Piper has the Blackshirt posters in his room. He grew up the biggest fan of two teams — Norfolk Catholic, where he plays high school football, and the Huskers. Piper idolized one Blackshirt in particular.
“If I could be anyone, it’d be Ndamukong Suh,” Piper said.
He’ll get his chance. The 6-foot-4, 280-pound Piper officially committed to Nebraska on Monday, becoming the third member — and third in-state prospect — to join coach Scott Frost’s 2019 recruiting class.
