Huskers Honoring Burroughs to Start Season Friday Night
No. 8 Nebraska will host North Dakota State Friday Night at the Devaney Center at 6 p.m.
It’ll be a big night for the Huskers to start the season as they honor the greatest American wrestler ever Jordan Burroughs while opening their season against a salty Bison squad.
It’s Jordan Burroughs night, and it’ll be a special event as Burroughs will be honored for winning his American-record seventh World/Olympic gold medal. In many minds, that solidified him as the American GOAT, and he’s not done yet. He plans to wrestle at the World Championship again at 79 kg next season before dropping down to 74 kg in 2024 for one last run at another Olympic gold. … rest of story at Wrestling-huskers-honoring-burroughs-to-start-season
