While much attention has been paid recently to the main lineup of UB Wrestling, there are guys that are taking a redshirt season that are still gaining valuable experience in open competitions throughout the season. Today, eleven Bulls took part in the Purple Raider Open with 7 placing highlighted by runner-up finishes from Justin Patrick and Derek Holcomb.
Patrick stormed through the competition at 125 pounds, earning 3 decision victories and a major decision victory before bowing out of the tournament before the 1st place match due to medical reasons. With his 4 win performance Patrick improved to 25-6 in his redshirt season.
