Ohio State wrestler Rocky Jordan will end his wrestling career at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga. Jordan’s transfer was announced via Instagram with him writing, “The final chapter of my wrestling career will be at The University of Tennessee Chattanooga! Very excited for the future!”.
During his time at Ohio State, Jordan had a 49-26 record. Some of Jordan’s career honors consist of him being a 2020 and 2021 NCAA qualifier, a 2020 NWCA scholar All-American, a 2020 and 2021 big ten distinguished scholar, and a 2019-22 OSU scholar athlete.
During his most recent season, Jordan was ranked number 17 at the 197 pound weight class by InterMat. He was an Academic All-Big Ten. He finished 3-4 in duals and 9-3 in open competition. Jordan won the 184 pound bracket at the Storm open tournament and the Purple raider open tournament.
When asked for a statement, Jordan replied, “I loved my time at OSU but I left OSU because of wrestle off situations and there were a lot of good kids around my weight. I didn’t want to have to fight for a spot all year. What separated Chattanooga from the other schools once I hit the portal was that I really liked the team and coaches. They are a big family there and I feel like I will fit in very well. The Ruschell brothers are awesome coaches and wrestlersBe like what was the deciding factor and what are you looking forward to”.
Rocky Jordan will now be continuing his final year of colligative wrestling at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga.
