Huskers long snapper, Cameron Pieper, has overcome a roller-coaster journey in order to become the man he is today.

I wanted to quit; it was hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Having God on my side and the faith that I have in Him really helped me get through those hard times of adversity.” This story dives deeper into Cameron's story, starting when he was introduced to football the day he was born, to discovering his future career.

Omaha Westside’s football program is home to two females, Piper Zatechka and Erin Mardi. Both strapped on the pads because of their passion for the game and just so happened to blaze a few trails on their way.
They have a message to other girls aspiring to play football: “Go for it.”
"You wouldn't want to look back and regret not going out for it,” Zatechka said. “The more girls we get playing, the more girls are going to feel more comfortable going out for football.”
