Nelson
Continued from Page 9
School. 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.”
