Wyoming All-American Volk to Miss Remainder of 2024-25 Season

This afternoon, Wyoming All-American 125 lber Jore Volk announced that he will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season due to an injury. Volk’s social media posting indicates he’ll attempt to use a medical redshirt for this year. He has only competed in four matches this season and suffered losses in the two most recent duals. Volk has been out of action since a loss to Oklahoma’s Antonio Lorenzo on November 23rd. 

A week before, Volk defeated fellow All-American Tanner Jordan of South Dakota State, 8-2, at the NWCA All-Star Classic. 

In two-plus years of competition at Wyoming, Volk has amassed a 44-21 record. 

Last season, Volk captured a Big 12 championship and earned the fifth seed at the NCAA Tournament. After getting upset in the opening round, Volk battled back to knock off top-seeded Braeden Davis of Penn State, the Big Ten champion, in the NCAA Bloodround. He finished the tournament with a 4-0 shutout win over Jordan. 

Earlier in the 2023-24 campaign, Volk was fifth at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational and a winner at the Reno Tournament of Champions. 

Prior to his freshman year at Wyoming, Volk captured a gold medal in freestyle at the 2022 U20 World Championships. 

In InterMat’s latest rankings update, Volk came in at #8 in the 125 lb weight class.
