COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – For the second straight week to open the 2025-26, a Chadron State wrestler has taken home the RMAC Men's Wrestler of the Week award with 133-pounder Hunter Jacobsen earning the weekly honor from the league office on Tuesday.

Jacobsen, who joins last week's honoree and 125-pounder Quade Smith as Eagles to win the RMAC award this season, went 2-0 across a pair of dominant dual victory while the Eagle did not allow a point as a team. 

It is the first career RMAC award for Jacobsen, a sophomore from Lincoln, Nebraska and Waverly High School. Jacobsen's award is part of a weekly department sweep after redshirt freshman Desza Munson won the women's weekly honor.

In two matches last weekend, Jacobsen pinned Otero's Robert Ortiz in just 1:37 before recording a 19-2 tech fall win over Fort Hays State's Jett Schwartz. Both victories early in the dual created momentum that Jacobsen's teammates were able to maintain, as Chadron State earned a 54-0 victory over Otero and a 40-0 win over Fort Hays State. 

The two victories improve Jacobsen's record to 5-2 early in his 133-pound career. Jacobsen started for the Eagles at 125 as a true freshman in 2024-25 in place of the redshirting Smith and earned his way to the back half of the NWCA's Top 20 rankings over the course of last season. 

The Eagles are preparing to compete in the UNK Open this Saturday, typically considered the largest tournament in the country. Last season's open had over 750 entrants and 54 teams and was the place that Keegan Gehlhausen announced himself on a national stage with a 184-pound bracket win prior to his eventual national runner-up finish.
