My guess at starters for this season:

125: Zeke Moisey #11
133: Christian Miller
141: Chad Red #11
149: Jordan Shearer
157: Tyler Berger #5
165: Isaiah White #4
174: Mike Labriola #10
184: Taylor Venz #14?
197: Eric Schultz #21
285: Christian Lance

Surprises for me are Miller and Lance.

Preseason team rank of #12.

:Shout:1 Dec 2018 Las Vegas, Nev. – Three Huskers made the Cliff Keen Invitational finals, which tied for the most NU wrestlers in the finals since 2013. Six of the ten Huskers who competed at the Cliff Keen Invitational placed in the top seven of their weight class. Three Huskers, Isaiah White (165), Taylor Venz (184) and Eric Schultz (197) all made it to the championship of their weight class.
Isaiah White took home the 165-pound title, while Schultz and Venz both finished in second place. Tyler Berger (157) took third place, winning four-straight consolation bouts after losing his quarterfinal match. Mikey Labriola (174) finished fourth and Zeke Moisey took seventh place.
As a team, Nebraska finished in third place with 105.5 points, its highest finish since the 2013-14 season, when it finished second.

Championship:
Isaiah White (165) battled #14 Mehki Lewis (VT) in the 165-pound championship, grinding out a 2-0 victory to cap a 5-0 weekend. White, who came into the weekend 1-3 overall, was dominant in his five bouts. He defeated three top-20 opponents on the way to his first-place finish.

Taylor Venz (184) dropped his first bout of the weekend against the No. 1 ranked 184-pounder in the country in Ohio State’s Myles Martin. Venz finished the weekend with a 5-1 record and has won ten of his eleven matches on the year. In his five wins this weekend, he had two wins by fall, two tech. falls and one decision.

Eric Schultz fell just short of winning the 197-pound title, dropping an 8-3 decision to #3 Kollin Moore of Ohio State. However, he proved why he should be considered one of the top 197-pounders in the country this weekend, winning each of his first four bouts. One of the top moments of the weekend came in a 5-3 decision victory (sv-1) over #16 Jackson Striggow (MICH) in the Sweet 16.

Tyler Berger Named Open Mat Wrestler of the Week:
"In his last four matches, he’s defeated the No. 10, No. 4 and No. 2 wrestlers in the country in his weight class. On Sunday, Jan. 20, Tyler Berger will get his chance to square off with Penn State’s Jason Nolf, the No. 1 157-pounder in the country and the two-time defending national champion in his weight class."

The Berger and Jensen matches were on B1G Networks weekly top 5 matches. Berger wrestled very well in that match and really looks like he is coming into his own. Jensen came oh so close to losing that match, but staved off Jennings who actually collapsed in the 3rd period and had to take a medical time out. I really wish they aired more meets on B1G
