I know it’s fun to get caught up in football and basketball recruiting, but outside of the volleyball program, Nebraska’s best recruiting machine the past 5-6 years has been the Husker wrestling program.
Head Coach Mark Manning along with his assistants have done a tremendous job the last few years bringing in talent. And with the free year of eligibility granted to wrestlers last year, it meant even less opportunities for freshmen as a wave of seniors returned to wrestle one more season. It also means that two recruiting classes were technically considered true freshmen this season and were still eligible for redshirts, even if they wrestled in duals in the shortened 2021 season.
