He was a three-time Minne sota state champion and a second team All-American. He came to Nebraska as the No. 7 overall recruit in the country by Am ateur Wrestling News in 1991. After redshirting his first season, Nelson stepped in for the injured Robbins at 167 pounds for a month at mid-season and posted a 19-5 mark, including a seven-match win streak. Nelson was 20-9 this season before the injury. But the tom ligament hasn’ t stopped Nelson, a Husker co-captain along with Frank Velazquez, from trying to help this year’s team in any way he can. “I can’t do much,” he said. “I come to practice everyday, but there’s only so much I can do for them. It’s hard for me to watch them wrestle.” That was evident last Wednesday when the Huskers wrestled Missouri. Nelson wanted the chance to wres tle Shaon Fry, the top-ranked wrestler in the nation at 167, but the injury denied him that chance. “My aunt and uncle had planned four months ago to come down for the dual to watch me wrestle,” he said. “1 was crushed in not being able to wres tle that match. “I just wanted the chance to wres tle him.” Instead, Nelson was on the side lines, beginning rehabilitation. “It’s like something’s been taken away from me,” he said. “I’m going to rehab as hard as I can and get back as fast as I can.” Once he gets back. Nelson will have his eyes on the NCAA meet, but he will have two years ofeligibility to accomplish that goal. “I’m going to have to do every thing in two years now," he said. “This is the worst thing I’ve ever had happen to me. ‘This isn’t the way I wanted my college career to go.” Husker Red's Poll Final regular season standing: Feb ebruarv 22,1994 8.
