Wrestling: Incoming Freshman McDanel Takes Bronze at U20 Worlds

Nebraska signed a monster 2023 recruiting class of 12 guys, none bigger than Camden McDanel.

Nebraska’s top-rated signee on the FloWrestling Big Board at No. 37 overall, McDanel is an Ohio native who is a national and state champion. But now, he’ll be bringing some more serious hardware to Lincoln after securing a bronze medal at the UWW U20 World Championships in Amman, Jordan.
