Russell Boyd knew his son would wake up with an answer.
Former Oklahoma State wrestler Nolan Boyd, a three-time state champion who compiled a 120-20 record at Deer Creek High School, had a decision to make: wrestle for the University of Oklahoma or for Oklahoma State University, a school he had always dreamed of wrestling for.
Although he had an offer from OSU, Nolan’s dream seemed to be, well, a dream. An unreachable destination others said would be foolish to pursue.
Before he became a two-time All-American at OSU, Nolan’s doubters constantly told him becoming a Cowboy was a bad idea.
