LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Former Nebraska football standout and current NFL star Ndamukong Suh (ehn-DAHM’-uh-kehn SOO) plans to open a Nike store in the former Nebraska Bookstore space in downtown Lincoln.

The University of Nebraska Board of Regents on Friday approved a $1.25 million agreement with Suh’s company, TFL Development LLC, to buy 17,000 to 19,000 square feet of space at the corner of 13th and Q streets.

In a request for proposals, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln asked developers to propose a “nationally or globally visible retail store,” specifically clothing or footwear, for the former bookstore space.

Suh is a former All-American defensive lineman for Nebraska. He played five NFL seasons with the Detroit Lions before joining the Miami Dolphins this year.
