AJ Ferrari Officially Transfers to Nebraska Wrestling

AJ Ferrari, a two-time All-American and 2021 NCAA wrestling champion, has officially joined the University of Nebraska after failed commitments to Iowa and North Carolina, both reportedly linked to off-the-mat controversies and administrative issues. Ferrari, who previously won a national title at Oklahoma State and placed third at Cal State Bakersfield, also drew attention for a scuffle at Iowa and a felony sexual battery charge that was later dismissed. Nebraska coach Mark Manning has expressed strong support, highlighting Ferrari's talent and competitive spirit as valuable assets for the team. Ferrari's arrival comes as Nebraska looks to build on its runner-up finish behind Penn State at the 2025 NCAA championships. The weight class in which Ferrari will compete is still undetermined. Despite past controversies, Ferrari's achievements and experience are expected to have a major impact on Nebraska's wrestling lineup.
