The Nebraska athletic department released a statement with the tragic news that Husker wrestler Christian Miller was killed in a car accident this morning in Lincoln.

Miller was 21 years old.

He was on Mark Manning’s squad for four years, with a 15-9 career record. I can’t imagine the amount of shock running through the wrestling squad and student athlete body at Nebraska right now. 21 is way too young.

The Corn Nation staff sends our condolences and prayers to the Miller family.

The full statement is below.

From The Nebraska Athletic Department:

The Nebraska Athletic Department is deeply saddened to confirm that Husker junior wrestler Christian Miller was tragically killed in a car accident on Thursday morning in Lincoln.
