PREVIEWING #7 OKLAHOMA STATE: The seventh-ranked Cowboys will open their season Sunday with a pair of duals against Northeast Oklahoma and SDSU. OSU has four wrestlers ranked by The Open Mat, including #1 Alex Dieringer (165), who is the reigning NCAA champ, #2 Josh Kindig (149), #4 Austin Marsden (285) and #14 Kyle Crutchmer (174). The 'Pokes went 9-5 last season and finished third at the NCAA Championships.
JACKS IN THE RANKINGS: The Open Mat has senior Cody Pack at #15 in its latest rankings, along with junior heavyweight J.J. Everard, who comes in at #19. This is the first time Everard has been ranked in his collegiate career.
BISON OPEN RECAP: For the second straight weekend, SDSU brought home two individual champions, as Nate Rotert (197) and J.J. Everard (285) both won the Bison Open. Rotert beat #1 Scott Schiller (Minnesota) 2-0 as Schiller injury defaulted in the title match, while Everard took down #20 Michael Kroells (Minnesota) 6-5 in the championship bout.
SOCIALLY SUPREME - PART II: A year after being named the Best of Brand - Top Newcomer, @GoJacksWrestle took the next step in the social media game, winning the Best of Brand - Gold Standard for its relentless dedication to its #getjacked mantra. The “Gold Standard” is the highest award given at the conclusion of the season to the program which most effectively built their brand utilizing technology throughout the year, including social media, videos, and marketing campaigns. SDSU wrestling's presence on social media is based around it's video production, Jacked Up Monday and Jackrabbit Wrestling: All Access, which are released on Monday and Thursday, respectively. To compliment its video presence, coach Bono has also begun his own podcast, Get Jacked Weekly, which is released every Wednesday.
PROMOTIONS, PROMOTIONS, PROMOTIONS: The SDSU Athletic marketing staff has released the schedule of promotions for the 2014-15 wrestling season. They have established “Reader's Rowdies” - which will serve as the student section for home duals. Other promos include:
