THREE CREIGHTON WOMEN THIS WEEK RANKED 21ST. WELL, HUSKERS DEFENSIVE LINEMAN NASH HUT MAKER SAYS HE’S GETTING BETTER EVERY DAY. THIS OFF SEASON. HIS WORKOUT PLAN. IS ANYTHING BUT TRADITIONAL. THE POLAR BEARS DROPPED 45 POUNDS IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS BY RETURNING TO THE WRESTLING MAT AND MAKING AN INSTANT IMPACT. FOR NEBRASKA. MAT THOM TILLIS. NOW THE STORY FROM LINCOLN. I’VE JUST BEEN HAVING A BLAST WITH IT. LIKE, IT’S BEEN SO MUCH FUN GETTING TO KNOW THE GUYS IN THE ROOM, GETTING TO BE A PART OF THIS AWESOME PROGRAM THAT NEBRASKA IS, UH, THEY’VE BEEN SO ACCEPTING OF ME, AND IT’S JUST BEEN SO MUCH FUN. FOUR YEARS AFTER FINISHING A PERFECT 166 ZERO ON THE HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING MAT, NASH HUT MAKER, IS DUSTING OFF HIS SINGLET IN LINCOLN. WE ALL MAKE NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS AND, UH, ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT AND MOST PEOPLE DON’T. RIGHT? OR IT’S SHORT TERME AND HE LOST 45 POUNDS AND BASICALLY ABOUT FIVE WEEKS. NASH HAS A LOT OF COURAGE. AND YOU KNOW, WE LOVE IT. THE SPORT FOR NEBRASKA, FOR ME, BETWEEN THE FOOTBALL NUTRITIONIST, WRESTLING, NUTRITIONISTS, THEY’VE BEEN UNBELIEVABLE AND SUPPORT ME THROUGH LOSING THE WEIGHT, GETTING KNOCKING THE RUST OFF, GETTING IN SHAPE. IT’S MADE IT SUPER EASY TO COME IN AND JUST WORK AT IT EVERY SINGLE DAY AT EVERY MATCH. HIS FOOTBALL TEAMMATES AND COACHES PACK THE DEVANEY CENTER TO CHEER HIM ON. WE GOT TO MAN. WE KNOW HOW HARD HE’S WORKING. UM, WE JUST ENJOY WATCHING HIM COMPETE AND HE’S A LEADER IN THE ROOM AND WE’RE JUST HERE FOR SUPPORT. IT MEANS SO MUCH TO HAVE THOSE GUYS IN MY CORNER AT, UH, ALL THE TIME. NO MATTER WHAT I’M DOING. UM, ESPECIALLY IN THE DINING ROOM. WE ALWAYS PREACH THAT WE’RE. I MEAN, WE’RE A FAMILY IN THERE. IT’S A IT’S A BROTHERHOOD. SO WHY DO IT? WHY MAKE THAT LEVEL OF COMMITMENT? I’M DOING IT JUST BECAUSE I THINK IT’S GONNA MAKE ME BECOME THE BEST ATHLETE I CAN BE. THE HUSKERS WRESTLING TEAM RETURNS TO THE MAT ON FRIDAY. THEY’LL TAKE ON NORTHWESTERN ON THE ROAD
