Head Coach Chuck Chmelka and the Nebraska men's gymnastics team announced the addition of two high-profile recruits for the 2015-16 season. Jordan King and Anton Stephenson will join NU next fall, adding key skills and depth to the team's lineups.

 "We are very excited about signing Anton Stephenson and Jordan King.  Jordan is currently on the USA Junior National Team after a great finish at the P&G Championships this year.  Anton has consistently been in the top 10 in his age group throughout his junior career. Both are consistent in the all-around and both will contribute immediately to our team."
