Nebraska a finalist for top class of 2026 wrestling recruit
"After a lot of prayer and talking with my family, I've decided to decommit from the University of Iowa. This wasn't easy, but I believe it's not the right fit for me as a wrestler, a person, or for my faith journey. I'm grateful for the opportunity, and I'll never speak a bad word about their program. This is about finding the place God wants me to be. This is a huge decision in my life, and it has to be the right one."
Bassett will now decide among Nebraska, Oklahoma State, and defending national champion Penn State. Media outlet FloWrestling broke down the decision.
"There's a final three for Bo. How much conversation has been happening in the background, I don't know how much. Definitely some. There has been communication between the Bassett camp and these other schools prior to his decommitment. Penn State, kind of obvious. Oklahoma State, pretty obvious. And Nebraska. Those are the three. And that's who is ultimately going to be in the mix for Bo Bassett."
It's no surprise to see Nebraska is having success on the recruiting trail as the Huskers are coming off the most successful seasons in program history. The team finished in second place at the national championships behind national champion Penn State.
