Former OSU Heavyweight Alan Gelogaev has become a U.S. Citizen

Former Cowboy heavyweight and two-time All American Alan Gelogaev has become a U.S. Citizen.

Gelogaev, who was originally from Moscow, Russia, came to the United States and eventually Oklahoma State in 2008 via a connection he made with Olympians Daniel Cormier and Jamill Kelly. Kelly and Cormier were training in Russia at the time. Gelogaev struggled with some injuries throughout his career but when healthy was as exciting as they come.

Alan was a two-time All-American for the Cowboys in 2010 and 2013, finishing seventh and third at nationals.
