The No. 10 Nebraska wrestling team (2-0, 1-0 Big Ten) travels to Stanford, Calif. to face Utah Valley, No. 18 Stanford and CSU-Bakersfield on Saturday at Burnham Pavilion.
The three matchups are part of the Stanford Duals, which start at 1 p.m. CT. The Huskers open with Utah Valley in the second all-time meeting between the schools. NU looks to ride momentum from a near-perfect weekend where the Huskers won nine matches against South Dakota State en route to a 36-6 win on the road.
The Huskers grapple with No. 18 Stanford at 2:45 p.m. and will wrestle CSU-Bakersfield at 4:30 p.m.
Nebraska’s 2013 All-Americans Robert Kokesh (174) and James Green (157) are expected to start at the Stanford Duals. Green did not compete in South Dakota last weekend, but Kokesh earned his third pin of the season against the Jackrabbits.
No. 5 Jake Sueflohn is projected to start at 149 pounds for the Huskers in addition to Tim Lambert (No. 15 at 125), Colton McCrystal (133), Anthony Abidin (141) and Collin Jensen (HWT).
Nebraska could start multiple wrestlers at 165, 184 and 197 pounds this weekend. At 165 pounds, No. 20 Austin Wilson or Micah Barnes will get the nod. Either TJ Dudley or Aaron Studebaker could see time at 184 pounds, while 197 is between Spencer Johnson and Caleb Kolb.
