NCAA MEN’S GYMNASTICS: Recruiting Roundup!
Now that you’ve met manny of the freshmen slated to compete during the 2025-26 Men’s NCAA Gymnastics season (see that series here on InsideGym.com), we’re excited to launch a look at the Class of 2026 – NLI Signings for each program!
In this new Inside Gymnastics series in partnership with the Men’s College Gymnastics Association (CGA), we asked each head coach about who’s graduating, who’s coming up, what they look for in their recruits, where each Class of 2026 NLI signee could potentially contribute to the lineup, and what makes their program unique. You’ll see what they had to say right here on InsideGym.com!
We’ll also add updates here and across our social media platforms as the season progresses, should anything change. Plus! Stay tuned right here for Men’s NCAA Coverage throughout the season, and be on the lookout for our upgraded Routine Of The Week segment and more @InsideGym once the season gets rolling.
Up next, Nebraska! The Huskers won the fourth-place spot at the 2025 NCAA National Championships with a total score of 326.222. It was head coach Chuck Chmelka’s 10th consecutive top-10 finish at the NCAA Championships. Chase Mondi won a silver medal on the floor with a 14.566. Chris Hiser was the fourth-place finisher on rings with a 14.133 to close out his career as a Husker. Taylor Christopulos (pommel horse, all-around), Asher Cohen (rings), Mondi (floor) and Max Odden (high bar) all received All-America honors after receiving eighth place or higher on their respective event.
Taylor Christopulos was named the recipient of the Nissen-Emery Award, Nebraska’s fourth all-time and first in 37 years as Tom Schlesinger won the award for NU in 1988 under head coach Francis Allen.
“This isn’t just my award; it’s for the team, for my family, and everyone who’s helped me get here,” Christopulos said.”It represents all their love, sacrifice and effort.”
