Junior Experience The seniors are joined by four experienced juniors who all competed in the 2015 NCAA Team Qualifier. Austin Epperson became one of Nebraska’s top rings performers in 2015. He also represented the team in the classroom and in the community, earning a spot on the 2015 Tom Osborne Citizenship team and Academic All-Big Ten for the second consecutive year. Travis Gollott emerged as Nebraska’s first all-around competitor since 2014 and competed on floor at the 2015 Big Ten Championships where he placed eighth. He also was named to the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll in the spring of 2015. Chris Stephenson had a stellar year in his debut season as a Husker. The Fishers, Ind., native transferred from Air Force after his freshman season, but immediately made an impact for Nebraska as a sophomore. In addition to competing at the 2015 NCAA Team Qualifier, he also performed at the individual competition. He also was a standout in the classroom earning first-team CGA All-America Scholar-Athlete honors in 2015. Coleman Tokar competed regularly for the Huskers on rings, vault and floor, posting career-best scores on all three events as a sophomore. He also earned the prestigious Nebraska Student-Athlete HERO Leadership Award in 2015 for his leadership and work in the community. Sophomore Strength As the biggest class, the sophomores will help fill the void left by the four graduated seniors from last season. Kyle King and Daniel Leal will help lead the sophomore class for the Huskers. Both King and Leal competed at the 2015 NCAA Team Qualifiers as freshmen. Leal claimed individual titles on rings and on parallel bars on Jan. 30. King earned a berth into the 2015 Big Ten Championships event finals where he received the bronze medal for his career best vault performance of 15.10. Alex Magsam posted career-best scores on rings, vault and parallel bars. Additionally, he competed in the 2015 NCAA Team Qualifiers. He also earned first-team CGA All-America Scholar-Athlete honors in 2015. Connor Adamsick competed on floor, pommel horse and vault in his first season at Nebraska and looks to become a key contributor on those events as a sophomore. Adamsick also earned Academic All-Big Ten accolades in 2015. Brenon Sommers will compete for a spot in Nebraska’s rings lineup as a sophomore. He posted a career-best score of 14.05 against Minnesota and Iowa last season. Antonio Castro chose to redshirt last season, but looks for more action for the Huskers this season. Sanjaya Roy did not compete for the Huskers as a freshman, but still contributed. He was named to the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team in 2015 and earned first-team CGA All-America Scholar-Athlete honors. Each of the six sophomores made significant impacts in the classroom as well. They each earned spots on the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll for at least one semester last year and expect to continue representing the team in the classroom. Freshman talent Five freshmen look to start making an immediate impact on the team. The class includes two redshirts, Joshua Everitt and Andrew Zymball, and three newcomers, Heath Anderson, Anton Stephenson and Jordan King. Everitt and Zymball anticipate making the lineups in 2016, while guiding the remaining freshmen in their first competitive season at Nebraska. The remaining three Huskers consist of high- profile recruits sought after by numerous schools across the country. Heath Anderson, from Mesa, Ariz., participated at the 2014 State Boys Championships and chose Nebraska over Oklahoma. He’ll look to clinch a spot in the Huskers’ still rings lineup in 2016. Jordan King, a Houston, Texas, native was a member of the Cypress Academy of Gymnastics team that took first at the 2015 Junior Olympics National Championships. Additionally, King and Stephenson both represented Nebraska at the P&G Gymnastics Championships. King tied for first on pommel horse and placed second on floor, rings and in all-around competition. Stephenson took first on parallel bars and placed second on vault. Challenging Schedule Nebraska begins its season on Jan. 16 when the team travels to Colorado Springs, Colo., to compete at the Rocky Mountain Open, before welcoming Air Force to the Devaney Center on Jan. 23 for the first home meet of the season. The Huskers have a series of away meets that continue into mid-March. NU goes to Minnesota on Jan. 30 for a Big Ten match-up. Then the Huskers battle defending national champion Oklahoma on Feb. 6. The team has a bye week to prepare for the Winter Cup in Las Vegas on Feb. 18 and Feb. 20. On Feb. 27, the Huskers take the short trip to Iowa City to take on the Hawkeyes. NU opens March in Columbus, Ohio, with the Arnold Classic on March 5. Then the team travels to State College, Pa., to compete against Penn State on March 11. On March 20, the Huskers return home to take on Minnesota and Iowa for the final home meet of the season and the final regular-season meet. The 2016 Big Ten Championships will be hosted by Ohio State in Columbus April 1-2. A combination of the team’s regular-season and conference championships performances will determine whether NU qualifies for the NCAA Championships. The 2016 NCAA Championships will also be held in Columbus, Ohio, April 15-16.
