My All-American Journey – University of Nebraska



Turned belief into reality 

 

When I first signed with Nebraska, my main emotion wasn’t excitement or joy – it was fear.

I mean, I had just qualified for the Division II national championships and suddenly I’m here at Nebraska where there’s no guarantee I’d even be a starter. 

At the Division II level, I knew I could win multiple national titles and occasionally go into a wrestling match, knowing I’d crush my opposition.

That was never going to be the case at Nebraska. As I soon learned, every match and dual in the Big Ten is like going to war — time and time again.

I wasn’t sure that it would work out, particularly given Nebraska’s history in the sport. I mean, some of the world’s best wrestlers were Huskers — it was a bit nerve-wracking.

But at the same time, let’s be real, it was also a massive opportunity. If I wanted to be the best version of myself, there was no better place for me. After all, surrounding myself with athletes like this would surely help me in my own development. 

When I first came to Nebraska, I wrote down on a piece of paper that I’d become a Division I All-American. 

In order to achieve it, I first had to believe in it

For a long time, that goal seemed so far away. I wanted it, but how would I attain it?

In my first two years with the Huskers, I wasn’t even a starter and last year I didn’t make it to the round of 12 at NCAAs. 

However, I kept telling myself I could do it.
