Awards & Accomplishments
Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll (F24)
2024-25
Compiled a 12-11 record with eight bonus-point victories (two pins, four tech falls, two major decisions) … wrestled in six duals as a backup 149 and 157 pounds … delivered one of the loudest moments of the season inside Hilton Coliseum this season in his home dual debut … originally scheduled to wrestle a 149-pound exhibition match against Arizona State, he received the call around lunchtime on the day of the dual that he was needed in the lineup at 157 pounds due to sickness … went to Subway and ordered two sandwiches to bulk up for the 157-pound weigh-in … after falling behind early in the match, he went on to earn a crucial third-period fall over Pierson Manville, bringing the Hilton Coliseum crowd to its feet … placed seventh at the Luther Open.
