This is what real American values look like. Nebraska tight end Luke Lindenmeyer showed the country what it means to be a man of character last Saturday night. After scoring his first career touchdown in the Huskers crushing 68-0 victory over Akron, the junior did something that would make his grandparents proud.
Right there on the field at Memorial Stadium, Lindenmeyer got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend Kaily Storovich. She’s a member of Nebraska’s dance team and said yes to cheers from teammates and fans. This young man didn’t wait around or play games like so many do today.
In a world full of broken families and failed relationships, here’s a college athlete doing things the right way. Lindenmeyer caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Dylan Raiola in the second quarter. But he knew football wasn’t the most important thing that night.
The proposal happened after Nebraska rolled up 728 yards of offense, their most since 2014. Coach Matt Rhule gave his blessing for the engagement plan ahead of time. That shows the kind of respect and leadership we need more of in college sports.
This story comes from the heart of America where traditional values still matter. Nebraska represents everything good about this country – hard work, commitment, and doing right by the people you love. Young Lindenmeyer gets that completely.
While liberal coastal elites mock marriage and family, this Cornhusker tight end chose a different path. He scored his first touchdown and then made the biggest play of his life. That takes real courage in today’s mixed up world.
Too many young men today are afraid of commitment and responsibility. Not this Nebraska player who stepped up like a true American man should. He put a ring on her finger and showed what real leadership looks like.
This is the kind of story that makes America great again. Real men taking care of their women and honoring the sacred bond of marriage. Luke Lindenmeyer just became a role model for every young athlete in the country.
