Lincoln, Neb. - Nebraska Wrestling Head Coach Mark Manning announced the addition of two wrestlers on Wednesday who will join the program starting next season.
“We're extremely excited to add two outstanding student-athletes in Colton Wolfe and Dylan Gowin,” Manning said. “We have pursued Colton for many months and believe he will be a tremendous asset not only to our program, but to our University. Colton has dreamed of being a Husker and he's one of the best coming out of our state. He's a three-sport all-state athlete (wrestling, football and track) and an outstanding student. Dylan Gowin is a state champ and a multiple Kansas state place-winner and has beaten nationally ranked competitors. Dylan is an outstanding student and is committed to major in Pre-Med. He will add depth and competition in our lightweight class. Colton and Dylan both have the character that fits for our program.”
