All-American Heavyweight Slavikouski Enters the Portal

Just a few hours ago, InterMat posted a transfer portal update with a listing of notable wrestlers in the portal, along with others that have already made their transfer destinations known. 

That list grew today as All-American Yaraslau Slavikouski entered the portal. 

Slavikouski spent the 2023-24 campaign at Rutgers and got onto the NCAA podium for the first time - taking seventh place at 285 lbs. Previously, Slavikouski made the 2023 NCAA Round of 12 for Harvard and the EIWA finals in 2020. It was assumed that Slavikouski was out of eligibility; however, late in the season he confirmed he had another year he intended upon using. 

During three-plus years at Harvard and Rutgers, Slavikouski amassed an 82-22 record. In the 2023-24 campaign, Slavikouski finished fourth in the Big Ten and earned the 13th seed at nationals. 

He has also been active on the freestyle circuit finishing with a bronze medal at the 2021 European U23 Championships and seventh at U23 Worlds during that same year. 

With so many of the top contending teams in need of heavyweights, Slavikouski should be in high demand.
