From Norfolk Catholic to the Big Ten!

Three former Knights. Three offensive linemen. Three Big Ten programs.

Kade Pieper (’23) @HawkeyeFootball
Nolan Fennessy (’24) @HuskerFootball
Leighton Burbach (’26) @NUFBFamily

These young men represent the commitment, toughness, and the championship standard that Coach Bellar and Norfolk Catholic football have built over the years.

We are incredibly proud of each of you and can’t wait to watch your journeys continue this season. Good luck in fall camp and throughout the year! Your Norfolk Catholic family is behind you every step of the way.

Once a Knight, always a Knight⚔️❤️

Dunker also noted how true freshman Kade Pieper loves to hit people and could be in the plans sooner than later. Says Pieper (listed 6-3, 255) is up to 285. Appeared on depth chart this week at guard.

With this heave, Kade Pieper @NorfolkCatholic breaks the Class C State record for the third time in a month and now has a longer throw than the Class A and D records. Marty Kobza of Schuyler set the all-class record at 66-11.50 in 1981.
