In fact, since I broke down Nebraska’s 2026 recruiting class here , the Huskers have added two more names to the list — Nebraska now has 11 true freshmen set to arrive on campus between now and the fall.

In addition to Sledzianowski, Nebraska also added a Pennsylvania state champion in late January when Willmont Kai committed to the Huskers. Sledzianowski is rated as the #177 overall prospect in the class by MatScouts, while Kai comes in at #235. Also a former Pennsylvania wrestler, Sledzianowski started his high school career at Bishop McCort where he placed third at the PIAA State Championships in the AAA division as a sophomore.

Sledzianowski then moved to Florida where he wrestled for St. John Neumann Catholic. In two years there, Sledzianowski won a pair of state titles, including a perfect 33-0 senior season at 144 pounds, capturing his second state title via technical fall in the final.

In 2023, he made the U17 World Team in Greco and won Gold at the Pan-American Championships — he also won bronze there in freestyle. In 2024 at the U17 US Open, Sledzianowski placed third and beat one of the nation’s top recruits (and a Penn State commit) in the 3rd-place match.
