The spring is typically a busy season for transfers and this year is no different. In fact, it seems like more high profile wrestlers are on the move than ever. Six of the top ten teams at the 2018 NCAA Championships added a notable transfer and below is a list of ten significant wrestlers that will be appearing in new singlets during the upcoming 2018-19 season.
Justin Oliver, NC State – 149 LBS (Previous school Central Michigan)
The Wolfpack fill a potential hole at 149 lbs with Oliver a 2016 All-American who has a year of eligibility remaining. Justin will be looking for help getting back onto the podium after finishing in the round of 12 in each of the last two seasons. With the graduation of three-time NCAA champion Zain Retherford, 149 could be up for grabs, and if Oliver is in contention, then NC State has a good shot at competing for another NCAA team trophy.
