Nebraska Ranked No. 2 in NWCA Preseason Poll

The Huskers collected 379 points in the poll and came in ahead of No. 3 Iowa (363), No. 4 Ohio State (330) and No. 5 Oklahoma State (328). 

This ties for the highest ranking overall for Nebraska wrestling and believed to be the highest preseason NWCA Coaches Poll ranking.

NU has 10 regular-season duals scheduled against preseason top-25 teams, including five against top-10 teams. 

Nebraska will dual each of the other four top five teams including No. 5 Oklahoma State on Dec. 21, No. 3 Iowa on Jan. 23 and No. 4 Ohio State on Jan. 25, all at the Devaney Center.
