Husker Wrestling: Nebraska Shocks the Wrestling World and Secures Commitment from NCAA Champ AJ Ferrari

In one of the most shocking moves of the offseason in college wrestling, Nebraska secured a commitment from AJ Ferrari — the uber talented yet highly controversial junior-to-be who won an NCAA Championship in 2021 for Oklahoma State at 197 pounds.

On the mat, Ferrari is a monster. In two seasons — one at Oklahoma St. and the other at CSU Bakersfield — he’s finished first and third at NCAAs. His career record in college is 51-2.

And it seems the plan is for Ferrari to compete for the Huskers at heavyweight. He said in his announcement (watch below) on FloWrestling that he weighs “almost 230 pounds” and would like to go heavyweight.
