Huss went 15-5 overall and 4-1 in the Northern Sun a season ago. He qualified for the NCAA Championships and placed fourth at 197 pounds. 

I am just ready to get rolling this season. We have solid group of returners this year with a lot of experience. We also brought in a big group of freshmen as well so, it is great to see the veterans working with our younger guys as they transition to college wrestling. If we can stay healthy I believe we can have another great year.

We are excited to see Cole hit the mat for us this year. He put together a great run at the end of the season that culminated with him earning a fourth place finish at the NCAA tournament in March. He has been a big reason for our recent team success in dual meet competitions and has helped us change the culture and expectations of our program. Cole also earned NWCA All-Academic honors for his work in the classroom last year and was voted a team captain this year by his teammates.
