The No. 3 Nebraska wrestling team hits the road Friday, Nov. 13, for a top-three matchup at No. 2 Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
The dual starts at 7 p.m. Central Time on ESPNU, with live stats listed on StatBroadcast. Nebraska enters the match after a 28-9 win over No. 20 Wyoming in its season opener, where four newcomers made their Scarlet and Cream debuts and all four won.
The Huskers secured five bonus-point wins against Wyoming, consisting of three major decisions and two technical falls, while holding a 30-4 advantage in takedowns. Friday brings the first of several tests against top-10 opponents for a Nebraska lineup featuring six starters ranked inside InterMat’s top 10.
Oklahoma State counters with nine wrestlers ranked in the top 15, including two holding the No. 1 spot nationally. The Cowboys opened their season on Nov. 8 with a 45-0 home win over Drexel, a dual in which they did not allow a single takedown.
The historical series favors the hosts heavily. Oklahoma State leads the all-time matchup 53-4-1 and holds a 25-1 record against Nebraska in Stillwater, having won the last two meetings, including a 22-12 victory on Dec. 21, 2025, in Lincoln.
Friday’s dual could feature as many as five bouts between top-10 opponents. Fourth-ranked Vincent Robinson, the 2025 national champion at 125 pounds, opens his test against No. 7 Troy Spratley after starting his career with an 8-2 decision over Wyoming’s Isaiah Harrison.
At 149 pounds, Anthony Echemendia debuts after a 17-4 major decision and could face No. 2 Sergio Vega, who won the 2026 national title at 141 pounds before moving up a weight class. Third-ranked Antrell Taylor takes an undefeated start into the 157-pound match against No. 1 Landon Robideau, renewing a series where the two split matches during the 2025-26 season.
Meyer Shapiro carries a 35-0 career dual record into the 165-pound match against No. 3 Casey Swiderski. Second-ranked Christopher Minto rounds out the upper weights for Nebraska at 174 pounds, where he could face No. 12 Alex Facundo.
Following Friday’s dual, Nebraska travels to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for a dual against Penn on Saturday, Nov. 21, at 12 p.m. Central Time, followed by the Keystone Classic on Sunday, Nov. 22, at The Palestra.
