While Nebraska brings back a number of very productive starters from last season’s 3rd-place team, this Husker team will be much different than last year’s.
Nebraska’s big returners this year are Antrell Taylor at 157 pounds (national champ in 2025 and runner-up in 2026), Christopher Minto at 174 (2026 NCAA finalist), Camden McDanel at 197 (two-time All-American), and Jacob Van Dee at 133 (two-time AA). However, gone are stalwarts Brock Hardy at 141 pounds and Silas Allred at 184. Nebraska also parted
ways with heavyweight AJ Ferrari after a single tumultuous season.
Chance Lamer graduated as well after finding the podium for the first time in his career as a senior for the Huskers at 149 pounds this past season, continuing Nebraska’s success rate in putting guys on the podium who previously hadn’t done so.
Speaking of transfers, Nebraska brought in a slew of impact guys from the portal this off-season — NCAA Champion Vincent Robinson from NC State, two-time All-American Anthony Echemendia from Iowa State, and Lucas Cochran from Penn State to fill in this season, and three-time All-American and two-time age-level World Champion Meyer Shapiro from Cornell — he plans to sit a year to get fully healthy before wrestling at 157 in 2027-28.
Robinson was the top wrestler in the portal regardless of weight class and also fills a need in the lineup at 125 pounds — a true best-case scenario. Adding Cochran as a grad transfer from Penn State supplies Nebraska with a quality guy at 184 where it had a major hole, and Echemendia will be the old guy in a room full of young talent at 141/149. Shapiro will serve as an elite training partner in the middle weights while being the replacement for Taylor after he graduates this season.
Including Robinson and Echemendia, Nebraska’s projected starters hold a combined 13 NCAA All-American finishes with four NCAA finals appearances and two national titles between them all — that’s a lot of firepower.
Those won’t be the only new faces in Lincoln this season — Nebraska is bringing in a huge 10-man 2026 recruiting class that is deep in the middle weights — especially from 149 pounds through 165. Between those four transfers and the incoming freshman class, 14 of Nebraska’s 30 wrestlers will be new to the roster this season.
The Huskers could also have some new starters fresh off redshirt seasons — Jake Hockaday at 141 and Cade Ziola at heavyweight.
Speaking of redshirts, they are now going to be a thing of the past. The NCAA is adopting a 5-for-5 rule starting this upcoming season where each athlete gets five years to compete and can wrestle in five postseasons. Honestly, this really simplifies things — the best guy will wrestle no matter his age. There will no longer be redshirts or medical redshirts or Olympic redshirts — you get five years to compete, period. However, any competitor who will be in college this season has the option to opt into the old eligibility rules if it benefits them.
With that, I’m going to try to start referring to wrestlers as 1st-2nd-3rd-4th or 5th-year guys. Without redshirts, it’s unclear what you call a fifth-year guy — Super Senior? That seems kinda lame, so we’ll see what happens.
With that said, I’m going to take my best shot at predicting the Husker lineup this coming season with everyone on the roster eligible to be a starter. The 10 incoming freshmen were likely set to redshirt this season, which has been largely customary at Nebraska over the years, but the new eligibility rules mean that they’ll be in the mix right away.
Here goes.
Projected 2026-27 Husker Lineup
125 pounds
1. Vincent Robinson (4th year) – ‘25 NCAA Champion, 2x All-American at NC St.
2. Abdi Unle (2nd)
3. Elijah Collick (1st)
4. Zaiyahn Ornelas (1st)
133 pounds
1. Jacob Van Dee (5th) – 2x All-American

2. Nolan Fellers (1st)
174 pounds
1. Christopher Minto (4th) – ‘26 NCAA finalist, 2x All-American
2. Niko Rotella (1st)
184 pounds
1. Lucas Cochran (5th) – Penn St. transfer
2. Ethan DeLeon (4th)
3. Marco Christiansen (3rd)
197 pounds
1. Camden McDanel (3rd) – 2x All-American
2. Tad Forsyth (1st)
3. Dominic Thebeau (4th)
285 pounds
1. Cade Ziola (2nd) — 2025-26 Redshirt
2. Harley Andrews (5th)
In my opinion, the 5-for-5 rule will be good for parity in wrestling, but it will take some time. The top teams will no longer be able to stockpile elite talent and get creative with different redshirts combined with weight-class moves. The best kids in the country are going to want to go to a program where they can use all five available years in the starting lineup, especially the first one, to maximize their career potential. I do think that gone are the days where a blue-chip goes to a school where he’ll likely have to pick between sitting behind an NCAA Champion with multiple years of eligibility and being at a weight class that’s not ideal.
In other words, I think the pool of top-tier wrestlers will be spread out more as some of those kids who would have chosen Penn State, Oklahoma State or Iowa decide to go somewhere they can start at right away. For a team like Nebraska who has been in deep on some big recruiting fish lately only to finish second multiple times, this change is a good one. The Huskers have historically taken the second or third-tier recruits and turned them into podium threats — with a few elite guys sprinkled in — while also finding a few hidden gems along the way.
With the new rules, Nebraska may just be able to pluck a few elite prospects from the clutches of the Nittany Lions and Cowboys.
Weight-By-Weight Notes
125 pounds
Vincent Robinson (4th year)
This was Nebraska’s weakest weight class last season — the Huskers went 5-14 in dual matches here between Alan Koehler and eventual NCAA qualifier Kael Lauridsen. Lauridsen and Koehler had their moments, but they just didn’t seem ready for the job just yet.
So, Nebraska went out and made a major splash in the transfer portal, picking up Vincent Robinson from NC State. An NCAA champion as a redshirt freshman in 2025, Robinson placed fourth this past year as a sophomore.
Robinson is extremely talented and dynamic, providing the Huskers with an enormous upgrade at 125 — he’s an instant title contender and a great guy to set the tone in dual meets.
Koehler entered the transfer portal in early April and landed at Wisconsin, while I’m not sure Lauridsen stays at 125 this next season. With two years of eligibility for Robinson and 133-pound starter Jacob Van Dee entering his final season, I think Lauridsen could spend the year building up to 133 for a run at that open spot in 2027. He did wrestle one match this past year up at 133 and lost a 9-3 decision to Oklahoma State’s Ronnie Ramirez.
Behind Robinson will likely be a host of young prospects in Abdi Unle, Elijah Collick and Zaiyahn Ornelas. While it’s unclear what weight Collick and Ornelas will be at to start their careers, Nebraska does seem to have some depth and talent here — Unle and Collick were both top-110 rated prospects by MatScouts, while Ornelas was a four-time Nebraska state champion who lost just one high school match in his career. Collick was a four-time Maryland state champ, and Unle won a pair of state titles at Omaha Bryan before coming to Lincoln.
On a side note, the 5-for-5 rule — which will eliminate the ridiculous redshirt rules where you could only compete in five “events” — will add a lot of intrigue to smaller tournaments this year. Gone are the days where incoming freshmen couldn’t wrestle in too many events, so these lower level tournaments should be populated with younger guys and backups as they try to get as many matches as they can. It could make for some really interesting matchups.
133 pounds
Jacob Van Dee (5th year)
An anchor in this lineup, Van Dee is going into his fourth year as the starter at 133 pounds. He’s placed seventh at the past two NCAA Championships, securing All-American honors twice. In fact, Van Dee lost his first match at NCAAs both seasons and wrestled back through the consolation bracket to find the podium, showing incredible grit.
Van Dee brings a 64-29 career record into his final season. He’s been spotty at times during the regular season, but he tends to show up in March and is capable of beating some of the top guys in the country. He’ll again contend for a podium spot in a deep field.
Behind Van Dee, it’s unclear who Nebraska will have because it’s not known what weight some of these guys will be at in the lighter weights. Lauridsen, Ornelas and Collick could all be at either 125 or 133 to start the year, but I expect Van Dee’s backup to be one of those three.
141 pounds
Jake Hockaday (2nd year) -OR- Omar Ayoub (2nd year)
In my opinion, it’s all hands on deck for Nebraska to replace Brock Hardy here — there are four legitimate options to start at 141.
It’s not a certainty that Jake Hockaday wins the job fresh off his redshirt season, but he does seem to be the slight front-runner.
In addition to Hockaday, Nebraska will also have guys like Omar Ayoub, Lincoln Sledzianowski and Davis Parrow as options here. Both incoming freshmen, Sledzianowski and Parrow could land at 141 or 149 this season, but with the addition of transfer Anthony Echemendia at 149 pounds, it’s likely they throw their hats in the ring at 141 this season.
A top-40 recruit in the country in 2025, Hockaday was a four-time Indiana state champion. Not only is winning a state title in single-class Indiana difficult, it’s only been done four times by 11 people with Hockaday being the 11th to do it. After winning three titles, Hockaday tore his ACL, meniscus and damaged his MCL in the first week of practice as a senior. Instead of getting surgery and missing his senior season, he wore an enormous brace on his knee and went on to win his fourth state title essentially on one leg before getting surgery.
Hockaday arrived on campus and had to have another knee surgery last fall, which pushed his return to the mat to January — he went 12-2 between open tournaments and his one dual match against Minnesota. Hockaday took on senior Vance Vombaur, a two-time All-American and eventual blood-round finisher in 2026. Hockaday was down 4-2 late and hunting for the winning takedown, but Vombaur was able to counter with a takedown of his own for the 7-2 win.
Hockaday finished the season with nine bonus-point wins — six pins and three techs. He secured 46 takedowns on the year and gave up just four.
Likely breathing down Hockaday’s neck will be Omar Ayoub who is going into his third year with the Huskers — although he will have four years of eligibility due to a medical redshirt this past season after taking a traditional redshirt the year before. After going 8-1 during his redshirt year, Ayoub went 2-2 this past season before suffering a hand injury at National Duals. Ayoub filled in twice at National Duals, going 1-1 while dropping an 11-2 major decision to eventual NCAA finalist Ben Davino of Ohio State.
It’s on the freestyle scene where Ayoub has been most impressive though. Wrestling for Puerto Rico, Ayoub won a U20 World bronze medal at 61 kg last year. Not considered a medal threat going into the tournament, Ayoub fell 8-6 to eventual finalist Ahora Khateri of Iran before wrestling back for bronze, beating Russia’s talented prospect Adlan Saitiev. After falling behind 6-0, Ayoub battled back for the 8-6 win.
Ayoub will represent Puerto Rico at U23 Worlds this year after winning U23 gold at the Pan-American Championships up at 65 kg.
If Echemendia locks down 149 for Nebraska, we could see Lincoln Sledzianowski down at 141. Coming off podium finishes in both freestyle and Greco-Roman at the U20 US Open, Sledzianowski looks like a true gem for the Huskers and has the talent to compete for a starting spot against anyone. In the same bracket as Hockaday at the Open, Sledzianowski finished fourth while Hockaday fell in the blood-round — for what it’s worth.
Sledzianowski had a wild semifinal match in freestyle, jumping out to an 8-0 lead before narrowly dropping a 14-13 decision to Kellen Wolbert. Watch it below — you’ll be glad you did.
I don’t anticipate Sledzianowski being able to hold 141 pounds past his first season though — he has a long frame and will likely end up at 149 or even 157, depending on how much growing he has left.
Another incoming first-year guy, two-time Minnesota state champ and recent Fargo National Champion in freestyle Davis Parrow could also be in the mix — he was rated as the #149 overall prospect in the class of 2026 by MatScouts. He won his Fargo title at 150 pounds, but he could start his college career at 141.
Despite this being a spot where Nebraska doesn’t have an established guy, I do think the room is very talented, tough and deep — whoever starts will be competitive for the Huskers in duals. They may take some lumps along the way, but I expect them to be a factor when the postseason rolls around.
I can’t wait for wrestle-offs…
149 pounds
Anthony Echemendia (5th year)
Nebraska’s newest transfer has taken a long and winding road to Lincoln, as I detailed in depth here. After becoming a six-time age-level Cuban National Champion in freestyle, Echemendia defected to the United States and had never wrestled folkstyle until his senior season in high school.
He originally went to Ohio State out of high school before transferring to Iowa State where he was a two-time NCAA All-American at 141 pounds. Now at Nebraska, the consensus opinion is that he’ll go 149 — he’s tried moving up before only to end up back down for the Cyclones. A graduate transfer, Echemendia will likely go at his preferred weight class for his final season.
Nebraska does have a need at both 141 and 149 after losing All-Americans Brock Hardy and Chance Lamer to graduation, but I’ve heard that the cut to 141 is a tough one for Echemendia and he might be more suited at 149 anyway. He infamously once nearly beat Husker legend Ridge Lovett at CKLV but gave up a big move at the end, losing the match 9-6.
A proven commodity in the NCAA, Echemendia adds some more point-scoring potential to a Husker lineup that looks like the consensus third-best in the country — behind only Penn State and Oklahoma State. Nebraska already had a tough lineup coming back, but these top portal transfers have certainly narrowed the gap between the Huskers and the top two teams.
Nebraska also has Nikade Zinkin who filled in during the first semester of his redshirt season and could push for the spot — he went 18-10 this past season as a redshirt. Zinkin filled in while Lamer was ineligible due to transfer rules and went 2-4 in duals against some of the nation’s best. Against All-American Casey Swiderski of Oklahoma State, Zinkin nearly had him beat before falling in a 7-6 decision.
Zinkin wrestled at the US Open in April at 70 kg (154 pounds) and went 5-2 in the U20 division but failed to make the podium after an early loss.
After what I saw at the U20 US Open in April out of incoming freshman Lincoln Sledzianowski — who placed 2nd in Greco-Roman and fourth in freestyle, going 10-4 on the weekend against elite competition — I think he’s going to be a tough guy to keep out of the lineup for long.
A late addition to Nebraska’s 2026 class out of Florida, Sledzianowski looks like a true steal on the recruiting trail. Ironically, he could make the same impact that fellow Florida native Christopher Minto has made. Both were guys who flew under the radar out of Florida but may turn out to be absolute steals.
Sledzianowski wrestled at the US Open at 65 kg (143 pounds) and has the length and frame to go 149 this season, and with the new eligibility rules, should be solidly in the competition to earn the starting spot wherever he ends up.
Another option will be Willmont Kai out of Pennsylvania. A state champion as a junior, Kai didn’t start wrestling until middle school, so he’s a guy who could be a project. With an incredibly long frame, Kai could grow as well. This past season, he finished as a state runner-up, dropping an incredibly close 1-0 match to blue-chip recruit Keanu Dillard, a Lehigh commit who won his fourth state title (watch below).
Fourth-year wrestler Scott Robinson, a former state champion in Utah and a state placer for Millard South, will also compete for the spot — he went 8-7 last year and 0-2 in duals. He’s 18-12 for his career in Lincoln.
157 pounds
Antrell Taylor (5th year)
The unquestioned leader of this team, Taylor returns for his final season as he looks to finish his career back on top of the podium. Already a Husker legend, Taylor will have a chance this season to add to his legacy.
After wrestling up at 165 as a redshirt freshman and still placing 8th, Taylor dropped back down to 157 and won an NCAA Championship as a sophomore in 2025. After some early hiccups this past season, Taylor put together a great year, making his second straight trip to the NCAA final — but he dropped the match to Oklahoma State true freshman Landon Robideau 4-2.
Now a three-time All-American, Taylor will be one of the early favorites to win a title at an incredibly deep 157-pound weight class. With a career record of 76-18, Taylor will most likely be Nebraska’s fifth four-time podium finisher and find his way into the 100-win club.
As already stated, Meyer Shapiro is now in the fold at 157, but the former Cadet and Junior World Champion and three-time All-American for Cornell plans to sit out a year before making a run at a title in 2027-28. He’ll be invaluable as a training partner in the room for Taylor, especially after Nebraska lost James Green to Virginia Tech as a coach and resident athlete.
Behind Taylor and Shapiro, Nebraska has some really solid depth. The Huskers also have senior Dez Gartrell here — he has a 24-18 career record and has been a solid backup and training partner for the Huskers.
Don’t forget about in-state prospect Mason Petersen here. A three-time state champ out of Columbus, Petersen has wrestled a lot in all styles — most recently placing 5th at the US Open in Greco-Roman at the U20 level. He’s a solid prospect who should improve a lot this season in the room.
Nebraska also has incoming recruit Noah Bull joining the program. A former Fargo champion and a three-time Utah state champ, Bull is one of the better prospects coming in this fall. He’ll be a contender for this spot in the future.
165 pounds
LJ Araujo (3rd year)
In his first year as a starter this past season, Araujo took his lumps along the way and failed to finish on the NCAA podium, but he’s still one of the more talented guys on the Husker roster.
Araujo had a tough draw at NCAAs and lost a couple close matches, but he seems like the type of guy who will bounce back in a big way. A five-time state champ from North Dakota, a Super 32 champ, and a U20 World bronze-medalist in freestyle for Brazil in 2024, Araujo has proven that he’s an elite talent.
This past season as a redshirt freshman, Araujo went 19-10 while wrestling a gauntlet of a schedule in the Big Ten. A hammer in the top position, Araujo scored the second-most points in Nebraska’s lineup from the top position on the season with 35 near-fall points (just behind Brock Hardy’s 38). Araujo also tied with Hardy for Nebraska’s lead with wins via pinfall in the starting lineup with four.
After ageing out of the U20 division in freestyle, Araujo will represent Brazil at the U23 World Championships at 74 kg. After wrestling at 79 kg in the U20 division two years in a row, Araujo has since moved down to 74 kg and won a bronze medal at the 2026 U23 Pan-American Championships. Being a former age-level World medalist, Araujo seems like a medal favorite again.
Behind Araujo, Nebraska has incoming recruit Nolan Fellers out of Iowa, a 2026 state champion. Fellers has proven to be one of the Midwest’s best prospects for 2026 and should be a solid backup before challenging for a starting spot in coming years.
Fellers went 3-2 at the U20 US Open in freestyle in April — he’ll add quality depth in the room.
174 pounds
Christopher Minto (4th year)
After playing second fiddle to Penn State’s Levi Haines as a sophomore — losing three matches to him — Minto returns as the top dog nationally in the weight class.
Wrestling down at 165 as a redshirt freshman in 2025, Minto placed fourth at NCAAs. This past season, he moved up to his optimal weight of 174 pounds and had an impressive season — he went 24-6 and finished in 2nd place at both the Big Ten Championships and the NCAA Championships. In both finals, Minto dropped 2-1 decisions to Haines after losing 8-6 in their dual matchup.
Of note — Haines was a Senior-level World silver-medalist and a U23 World Champion in 2025 and is back on the World Team for Team USA this fall at 79 kg. He’s a potential favorite to win a World Championship.
In case you haven’t seen Minto wrestle, here’s a look from his 2024 NCAA run.
With Haines graduated and on to freestyle, Minto will be the man at 174 nationally. Last season, Minto led all Husker starters on the year with 68 total takedowns while giving up just seven — he also led all Husker starters (tied with Araujo) with six reversals. He had 13 bonus-point wins on the year and led the team with nine major decisions.
It’s unclear who will be Minto’s backup, but incoming freshman Niko Rotella could start his career at 174. You could also have junior Ethan DeLeon here — DeLeon has been solid with a 24-12 career record.
184 pounds
Lucas Cochran (5th year)
After losing All-American Silas Allred to graduation this year, Nebraska’s plan at 184 was to have Ty Eise — who redshirted this past season — move up from 174 to fill this spot. With NCAA finalist Minto returning at 174 with two years of eligibility remaining, Eise didn’t want to spend two years up in weight — and honestly I don’t blame him. He hit the portal and ended up at Oklahoma, and I think he’ll be a star there and wish him the best.
However, this left Nebraska in a spot where it didn’t really have a start-able 184-pounder. With a star-studded lineup going into next season the Huskers needed to fill that spot with a solid starter with upside. Nebraska did just that when it added Lucas Cochran from Penn State in the transfer portal.
While wrestling primarily at 197 pounds for the Nittany Lions, Cochran has a career 26-5 record. His biggest career win came when he bumped up to heavyweight and beat All-American Yaraslau Slavikouski from Rutgers 8-3 in a dual in 2024 — watch that match below.
The only question is whether Cochran can make 184 pounds and still be effective after wrestling at 197 and heavyweight in the past. This leads me to believe that Nebraska will likely give him a few duals off to limit his weight cuts throughout the season, putting him on a pitch count of sorts.
Behind Cochran, Nebraska has a couple options — likely Ethan DeLeon, Marco Christiansen, Tad Forsyth and potentially Dominic Thebeau. DeLeon has a 24-12 record as a Husker primarily down at 174 — but he did just wrestle at U23 Nationals at 86 kg (189.5 pounds), while Christiansen went 2-6 last season as a redshirt freshman at 184.
Depending on what weight class he starts his career — 184 or 197 — you could also see Forsyth here. Another top midwest prospect, Forsyth was one of the top wrestlers out of Kansas this year.
I believe that if Nebraska limits Cochran’s weight cuts that DeLeon will get those matches, but don’t count out Forsyth.
197 pounds
Camden McDanel (3rd year)
Another steady guy for Nebraska, Camden McDanel has kind of flown under the radar while earning All-American honors in his first two years in the lineup.
A huge beneficiary of the NCAA’s recent 5-for-5 ruling, McDanel now has three years left instead of two.
McDanel — who turned 18 in March of his senior year — greyshirted out of high school and trained at the Olympic Training Center. He arrived on campus in 2024 and started as a true freshman — he placed at NCAAs as a freshman and this past season as a sophomore. With 2024-25 counting as his first year of eligibility, McDanel will have three years remaining.
A U20 World bronze-medalist at 97 kg in 2023 (see below), McDanel is an elite freestyle prospect. He’s a two-time U20 US Open champion and a U23 National Champion in freestyle at 97 kg.
McDanel is 49-22 for his career and will again be a serious podium threat. Despite kind of going unnoticed compared to some other guys on the roster, McDanel is on pace to be a five-time All-American and join the 100-win club for the Huskers.
Only four Huskers have ever earned All-American honors four times — Bryan Snyder, James Green, Mikey Labriola and Brock Hardy — let alone five times. Antrell Taylor will likely be the next four-time podium finisher, but McDanel and Minto could potentially end up being the sixth and seventh if they keep on their current trajectory. McDanel could potentially be Nebraska’s first five-time podium finisher — he’ll at least be the first to have a shot at it.
Behind McDanel, Nebraska could have Thebeau or incoming recruit Forsyth, a two-time state champ out of Kansas. Thebeau has two years of eligibility remaining and a 3-10 career record as a Husker.
285 pounds
Cade Ziola (2nd year)
In one of the most anticipated debuts in Husker wrestling history, former Nebraska star Cade Ziola will debut officially in the starting lineup after redshirting last year behind AJ Ferrari. A three-time state champ for Omaha Skutt, Ziola also won an Ironman title and made it to the finals at Fargo Nationals in high school.
Last season in redshirt, Ziola went 16-3 and collected 71 total takedowns while giving up just three — he won eight matches via technical fall. His losses came to All-American Konner Doucet of Oklahoma State as well as Minnesota’s Koy Hopke and Bennett Tabor — Ziola split matches with both Hopke and Tabor in the end.
Ziola also secured a signature win over top recruit Coby Merrill 4-2 at the Hastings College Open (there is literally no video of this match that I can find). An Iowa State commit for the 2026 class, Merrill is an absolute tank and just beat Olympian and World bronze-medalist Mason Parris at the Senior US Open in freestyle before winning the U20 US Open title. Merrill is favored by some to win an NCAA title next season, but I figure Ziola will have something to say about that.
Ziola has an incredibly long frame and has been hard at work adding mass since arriving on campus. He’ll never be one of the bigger heavyweights, but his style is going to be something that will be tough to deal with. He has elite ankle-picks and can cut the corner on a single-leg shot with precision.
With the heavyweight division clearing out considerably after last season, the title is there to be seized. Ziola has a real shot at finishing high up on the podium this year as a second-year freshman — there literally isn’t a guy in the country that I think Ziola can’t beat at 285 pounds.
Behind Ziola, Nebraska will have 2024-25 starter Harley Andrews who will be in his final year. Andrews holds a career 25-26 record and went 11-16 in his one year as a starter in 2024-25. He’ll be both a solid backup next year as well as a valuable training partner for Ziola in the room.
