The Two Jordans: Nebraska NEEDS Burroughs-Larson Statue at Devaney

Earlier this summer, I talked to both Mark Manning and Jordan Burroughs about the idea of erecting a statue of Burroughs at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.

After all, he’s the American GOAT at wrestling. How many other sports teams can make that claim that the greatest to ever do it in the history of this country competed there collegiately?

“I would love it. Honestly, it would be indescribable,” said Burroughs. “Look, if it happens I would be humbled and honored. I think it would be cool.”
