One of the nation's best middleweights has re-opened his recruitment as Josiah Rider has decommitted from Nebraska. The rising senior ranked No. 18 on our latest Big Board for the class of 2018.

Rider has won two Colorado state titles for Grand Junction and is 75-2 over the past two seasons. He originally gave a verbal commitment to the Huskers on January 5th of this year. We reached out to Rider, who said he does not have a Top-5 school list right now.

I'm just waiting to see who is interested at this point and start from scratch.

Perhaps best known for his Greco accomplishments, Rider made the finals of both Super 32 and Ironman at 145 pounds, down from 152 where he won his state title in 2016. He projects as a 149 in college.
