    Buffalo Bulls


    “I like this team a lot. They are very driven in and out of the room! This year's schedule is perhaps the toughest we have had in some time. This is a testament to our leaders on the team who wanted to be challenged. Our goals never change. We want to compete daily in everything we do, we want to perform to our individual potential, and we want to compete for Mac and NCAA honors.” - Head Coach John Stutzman

    TOP RETURNERS


    The Bulls are returning eight starters, led by the following wrestlers:

    Derek Spann - 2x National Qualifier (graduate student)
    Michael Petite - National Qualifier (redshirt junior)
    Toby Cahill - Ranked in Top 33 Last Season, (redshirt senior)
    Johnny Arceri - 6th Year

    KEY DEPARTURE


    Buffalo will be losing one of their prominent starters this upcoming season. 285 lbs NCAA qualifier Sam Schuyler transferred to Iowa State in the offseason.

    TOP NEWCOMERS


    Coach Stutzman is looking forward to welcoming nine freshmen/transfers to this year's program. 197 lber Eli Sheeren looks like the freshman that might be able to make the most immediate impact. Sheeren starred in the team's blue/white match by pinning returning starter Sam Mitchell in the second period. In high school, Sheeren was a two-time Texas state champion and a Fargo All-American in Junior Greco-Roman.

    Patrick Adams, 125/133
    Mason Bush, 133
    Cole Minnick, 133
    Declan Neville, 133
    Andy Lucinski, 133/141
    Trent Svingala, 141
    Caleb Burgess, 149
    Gibby Marquez, 174/184
    Eli Sheeren, 197
