Former Wyoming Freshman State Champion Commits to Wyoming

[OrediggerPoke]

Trent Olson is a nationally ranked wrestler and went undefeated and won a state championship for Gillette as a freshman. He then went back East to face better competition on a day in and day out basis. Terrific signing and following in the footsteps of Tyler Cox!

Hopefully he's got a bigger frame than Cox. That was Cox's downfall

I believe Olson is roughly the same size as Cox as it says he wrestled 113 last year which is pretty small for a Junior. I believe Cox wrestled 112 as a Junior.

That said, Cox had a pretty darn successful career at Wyoming as an All American and as high on the list for career wins.

Hopefully he's just got a bigger skeleton to add some mass to. Cox naturally weighed not much over 125 whereas some of those dudes he wrestled were cutting like 15+ to get down to 125
