Best Husker Wrestlers Ever: No. 4 Tolly Thompson

After unveiling No. 5 Brad Vering (also Honorable Mentions, 9-10, 7-8, No. 6 Robert Kokesh), it’s time to get into a very fluid top-four. I can’t remember how many times I’ve decided to change this order, but this is what I settled on:

No. 4 Tolly Thompson (1992-97)

The heavyweight from Janesville, Iowa took over after the graduation of Rulon Gardner and didn’t disappoint. In fact, Tolly Thompson turned in one of the greatest careers Nebraska wrestling has ever seen.
