Last season Nebraska Cornhusker Jordan Burroughs suffered a major knee injury that ended his senior campaign. Immediately the message boards lit up discussing the likelihood of Jordan getting a medical red-shirt.

 

Burroughs was a heavy favorite to win his second NCAA title.

 

Jordan graciously took sometime to sit with TOM and discuss things.

 

TOM: As we all know the season did not really go as planned for you, how are you doing and what can you share with about where you at with your rehab?

 

JB: ?Yeah things were a little tough this year, but I just try to look at this injury as another obstacle I have to overcome to repeat as an NCAA champion, a lot of people don?t realize that we wrestle with a lot more than just our opponents but school, weight, injuries, just life in general, it?s a tough lifestyle and it definitely wears on you. Right now I just passed the 3 month mark in rehab, I had surgery on January 2, 2010 and I will be cleared to be back on the mat this summer, rehab has been tough and painful but I?m looking forward to next year.?
