The Nebraska wrestling team has added a three-time NCAA qualifier to its roster.

Owen Pentz, who went 1-2 at 197 pounds at nationals in March, is transferring from North Dakota State to Nebraska.
Pentz also competed at 197 at nationals the previous two seasons, going 1-2 as a sophomore and 2-2 as a freshman. Pentz had a career record of 45-24 at North Dakota State.

Pentz competed at Nebraska last season when North Dakota State upset the Huskers 20-16 in a season-opening dual. On that night, Pentz lost 4-2 in sudden-victory to Silas Allred. Allred, as a freshman at Nebraska last season, went on to become the first Husker since 2015 to win a Big Ten title.

Pentz was a two-time high school state champion in Utah. Nebraska has had success recruiting the state of Utah recently as last year’s lineup also included Utah native Brock Hardy, who finished sixth at nationals at 141.
