Nebraska football: Former “pipeline” member passes away

Former Nebraska football offensive lineman Brian Nunns died late last week. The 45-year-old, who was a member of the “pipeline” offensive lines of the glory days of the 1990s passed in his home in Lincoln.

As the Lincoln Journal Star reports, the cause of death has not been released, but members of the family have said he became ill on Wednesday night and was gone by Thursday morning.

Nunns joins what is a sad list of former Huskers that have passed on this spring, unfortunately he’s one of the younger names on the list. Former Cornhusker quarterbacks David Humm and Dennis Claridge died earlier this year.
