Headstands for a start naturally.
Wrestler's bridges for time or ROM in each direction are good IME. Headsprings or limbers done on the head (soft mats please!) do good things too. I know Coach is a fan of 10 (or was it 10 back and forth?) headsprings done regularly during warmup for general conditioning and injury prevention.
I haven't used them myself but I understand that head harnesses are the best if you want to build a *big* neck.
Headstands are pretty reasonable, too.

Thank you, headstands I do but I think I need to do more stuff :-)
I think I've been working on my shoulders and back mobility/strength and forgot about neck prehab...
