Only more points to be determined are those that will win their weight championship. Meaning if a wrestler wins their weight class tonight four points get added onto the overall team score.

Regardless, Nebraska overall finishes third. Another great year for Manning and the team. Hardy has to be a little disappointed but four year all American and a great rep for wrestling and the university.

Congrats to those that finished higher than their seeding.

Taylor and Minto, get after it!

huskers.com huskers.com
"Antrell Taylor (157) and Christopher Minto (174) each finished as runner-ups at the 2026 NCAA Championships, helping the Nebraska wrestling team secure a third-place finish with 100.5 points. NU recorded the second-highest point total in program history and its first-ever back-to-back top-three team finish. This also marks the program’s first consecutive top-five team finish since 2008-09.

The Big Red collected seven All-American honors, including five semifinalists and two finalists. With Taylor and Minto as runner-ups, Nebraska has now produced multiple finalists in back-to-back NCAA Championships for the first time.

The Huskers’ third-place finish ties for the second-best team result in program history, matching the 1993 squad that produced six All-Americans, two champions (Tony Purler and Corey Olson) and 79.5 points. "

Nebraska’s final podiums featured two runner-ups, two fourth-place finishes and one each in fifth, sixth and seventh. With seven Huskers earning podium spots the program has not had five or more All-Americans for the third consecutive year.

Four Seniors on this team that won't be back next year so NU will have some big shoes to fill. Next year will probably be a rebuilding year! There is as possiblity that Ferrari may get another year.
