LINCOLN - The Big 12 Conference announced Monday that Husker sophomore Kenny Jordan has been named the Big 12 Wrestler of the Month for November. Jordan, a Frankfort, Ill., native, went a perfect 6-0 at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational in Las Vegas last weekend.
Jordan, competing at 133 pounds, racked up three bonus-point victories to start the tournament. He recorded a 15-0 technical fall over Jerome Greco of Columbia in the opening round, followed that with a pin of Old Dominion's Kyle Hutter in 3:51 and notched a 13-2 major decision over Rick Rappo of Penn.
Jordan's last three wins in the tournament included a 7-6 decision over Reece Humphrey of Ohio State and a 7-0 decision over Cal State-Fullerton's T.J. Dillashaw in the finals. His performance helped propel the Huskers to a fourth-place team finish.
The national junior college champion at 133 pounds last year, Jordan is 8-0 on the season with two pins, one technical fall and one major decision.
