Mizzou just added three new wrestlers to the roster this year from the transfer portal. Cole Gripka, Joel Mylin, and Brant Whitaker have announced they are coming to wrestle for Mizzou. All three wrestlers are originally from Missouri but had committed to other colleges and now plan to make their return to the Show-Me State. I don’t expect any to start, but they’ll add good depth to an already deep lineup.
Cole Gripka comes in from North Dakota State with a 5-6 record at heavyweight this season. In high school he wrestled for Maysville High School in NW Missouri where he was 5th at State as a sophomore, then won state titles at 220lbs and 285lbs his final two years with a record of 76-0.
