“Our program is excited to announce the addition of five high school seniors to the Maverick Wrestling family,” said Head Coach Jim Makovsky. “Our program has a great tradition and the heart and soul of our program has been hard-nosed, tough and aggressive wrestlers. All five of these guys displayed these characteristics and we are grateful that they chose Minnesota State to continue their wrestling and academic pursuits. They have a lot of talent, but we were equally impressed by their character, passion for the sport and leadership qualities.”
