Position of need

Another NCAA qualifier at a position of need. Not a super exciting pickup but should be a serviceable HWT for a year.

A major announcement is coming soon, and it’s a big one for the Huskers! Former National Champion 125lb Vincent Robinson is committing to Mark Manning and the Cornhuskers.

You heard it here first! Been on it since he entered.

Did we lose another Assistant Coach?

No.

I have a gut feeling Nicolar Rivera is heading to NC state to fill in Vincent Robinson’s spot at 125.

— Seth Vosters (@SethVosters) April 15, 2026

I'm really hoping for Provo at 125 (seems too good to be true), but Rivera would fit the mold of the guys we've brought in already - guys that have qualified for NCAAs.

Transfer Portal Predictions

Anthony Ech 141 ISU-Rutgers

Jaxon Smith 174 Maryland-VTech

Meyer Shapiro 157 Cornell-NC State

Daniel Zepeda 149 NC State-Michigan

AJ Ferrari 197 Nebraska-ISU

Nico Provo 125 Stanford-Iowa

Christian Carrillo 125 ISU-NC State

I don't see it happening with Shapiro but I'm not turning down a 3 time all American. Also, not sure what Jackson Arrington's status is at 157.

Shapiro would be a homerun. But, I don't think it happens. Talked with Jackson at the RTC Casino night a week ago. He's ready to go this fall. But, they will hold him out of the US Open as a precautionary measure. Seems similar to last summer when they shutdown Trumble to rehab the knee.

125 will be fine with either Castillo and/or Provo (we can dream).

I'm curious to see what happens at 133, given that Redding appears to be moving up to 141.

Rumor mill was saying Shapiro was supposed to be on campus last weekend. Some folks believe Shapiro wants to redshirt a year before giving it one last push in which case would be a great immediate replacement after Arrington goes this year.

Sad to hear. When I wrestled at Athens Drive, he would come to practice every so often and teach. He was quite the character.
