Wrestling: Husker Legend James Green Returning to Lincoln as Assistant Coach

It was already known that Husker legend James Green was coming out of retirement to train at the Nebraska Wrestling Training Center, now he’ll officially be on staff as a full-time assistant coach too.

"The attitude, work ethic and commitment to excellence that James competed with both as a Husker and a six-time USA Wrestling World Team member gives our student-athletes a prime example of someone to imitate." - @Coach_Manning
