UB’s top wrestler transfers to North Dakota State, eight other Bulls in transfer portal
A roster shakeup for UB wrestling is underway.
The group’s prime competitor from final season, Giuseppe Hoose, was the primary wrestler to switch out. One other eight wrestlers stay within the switch portal, in line with FloWrestling.
Hoose completed final season with a 21-9 file. The 184-pounder was the one Bull to succeed in the NCAA Event in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Hoose introduced on social media April 19 that he will probably be transferring to North Dakota State College (NDSU) for the remainder of his eligibility.
The transfer is a giant bounce for Hoose. NDSU — a member of the Huge 12 Convention for wrestling — competes in opposition to powerhouses equivalent to Oklahoma State, Missouri and Iowa State.
This previous season, the NDSU Bisons completed twenty fourth out of 67 groups on the NCAA Championships and produced two All-People.
Hoose is not any stranger to NDSU. The previous two seasons UB has wrestled NDSU in twin meets, with Hoose going 1-1. This previous season he confronted off in opposition to the present 184-pound starter for NDSU, sophomore DJ Parker. Hoose defeated Parker 12-8 in that matchup.
Parker additionally made it to the NCAA Championships this previous season. He completed 0-2 whereas Hoose completed 1-2.
Hoose additionally wrestled on the 174-pound weight class in earlier years at UB. NDSU had no NCAA qualifiers in that weight class, so Hoose might doubtlessly fill that hole.
The opposite eight Bulls who entered the portal are redshirt freshman 125-pounder Mason Bush, freshman 197-pounder Braydon Vandenberg, sophomore 141-pounder Jack Marlow, redshirt sophomore 149-pounder Matt Ryan, freshman 125-pounder Patrick Adams, redshirt freshman 197-pounder Eli Sheeren, redshirt freshman 133-pounder Cole Minnick and redshirt freshman 133-pounder Jake Eckerle.
