Jordan Burroughs

 

 Former Husker wrestler Jordan Burroughs has no intention of coming home without the gold this year.  He won in the 74 kg (163 lbs) division at the 2012 Olympic games, and will look to defend his title this summer in Brazil.

 Burroughs had a storied career at Nebraska from 2006-11, where he overcame a series of injuries to take home two national championships.   Since his gold medal win four years ago, he has continued his domination, taking home multiple world championships.  

 Burroughs looks for the 2016 games be business as usual.  Look for him to be the favorite in taking home the gold for a second time.
