Lo-Ma’s Corbin Reisz knew from an early age, wrestling was going to be his path to success. His older brothers wrestled, his parents coached it, his mom and sister were his biggest supporters. He was born into it, but it was never forced upon him, which why he ended up liking it more.
Reisz signed his letter of intent to continue wrestling at the University of Nebraska-Kearney on Nov. 18.
“I feel like I found my next home,” Reisz stated after signing and announcing his post high school plans. “Signing day has a lot of emotions, but most of all, the realization the process is over and it’s official. It was a lot of mental stress, and the feeling of achievement and self-pride is incredible.”
Reisz was receiving multiple looks, but narrowed down his choices quickly. Several potential athletes overthink crucial decisions, but he made the best choice for him.
“Even after taking multiple visits, I knew where my heart was at,” stated Reisz. “I also highly respected that my brother (Briar) spoke so highly of the coaches and staff. The team cares about the improvement, helping them achieve their dreams.”
The Reisz family has been synonymous with winning wrestling in a storied Lo-Ma Wrestling program. Briar was a four-time state finalist / state runner-up; Wyatt Reisz became the school’s first three-time state champion, and Corbin just won his third state medal last winter (Feb., 2024) and his first state title.
Corbin credit’s both his brothers for his success.
“The one thing that made me really love this sport was equally finding its passion and the failure rolled into one,” Reisz added. “My brothers experienced both. When I didn’t get where I wanted, they pushed me to work harder, making sure I would achieve my goals.”
Corbin concluded, “I’ll have to keep improving and pushing myself when I step up to the next level. The openings are very small in college, and you have to have great set-ups if you want to succeed. The biggest selling point I had for my college choice was their culture for success. Not just the winning, but winning the right way. I’m looking forward to bonding with a new set of teammates, achieving a bigger goal at a higher level, and placing at Nationals.”
Corbin is the son of Doug and Indira Reisz, and plans to major in Supply Chain Management starting in 2025-26.
