The No. 5-ranked Nebraska wrestling team will start its season Friday at the Devaney Sports Center. The Huskers will take on No. 13 Minnesota at 8 p.m. with action airing on the Big Ten Network.
The Huskers have nine ranked wrestlers in the preseason FloWrestling rankings, but things often change drastically after the first week due to changes in weight classes that the rankers aren’t necessarily privy to. Coaches like to keep their lineups and weight class moves close to the vest.
Minnesota sports six starters in the preseason rankings, including the best overall wrestler in the country in heavyweight Gable Steveson.
