On Tuesday morning, All-American Kyle Crutchmer announced via Twitter that he will not be competing in the postseason due to injury.
"I found out two weeks ago that I need surgery on my right foot," wrote Crutchmer. "I broke it in two places. I have trained on it for two weeks now in pain. This morning I have made my decision to go ahead and get surgery next week and therefore I'm going to miss junior season. Thanks for the support from my friends and family as this is a difficult time for me. I am excited to see what my future holds. GO COWBOYS."
Crutchmer finishes his junior season with a 15-4 record. He was ranked No. 8 at 174 pounds in the latest InterMat rankings.
Chandler Rogers will replace Crutchmer in the Oklahoma State lineup at 174 pounds. Rogers, a redshirt freshman, has compiled a 24-6 record this season. He notched a win over North Carolina's Ethan Ramos, who was ranked No. 2 at the time, in his last outing on Feb. 19.
