Husker Grad Class Features NCAA Champion, Olympian, 32 All-America Awards – University of Nebraska

The elite group of Husker graduates is powered by 12 student-athletes who combined for 32 All-America awards in their college careers. The class features NCAA champion Asher Cohen (Lakewood, Colo.), who was named Nebraska’s Most Outstanding Male Student-Athlete in 2026. 

A three-time first-team All-American on still rings, including a gold medal on the event at the 2026 NCAA Championships, Cohen helped the Husker men’s gymnastics team to a fourth-place NCAA finish as a senior. Cohen is also a two-time College Sports Communicators Academic All-American. The biological sciences major will contend for a third Academic All-America honor later this year.

Cohen is joined by teammate Nathan York (Plainfield, Ill.) as All-Americans in the graduating class. York captured first-team All-America honors on parallel bars and pommel horse as a senior at the 2026 NCAA Championships. He was also the 2026 Big Ten champion on parallel bars.
