    As a redshirt freshman, Blees finished 17-5 at 157 pounds for the Cowboys, notching a second place finish at the Oklahoma Open and two third place finishes at the OCU Open and Joe Parisi Open. During his redshirt year, Blees went 22-10 on the season, competing only in open tournaments, wrestling most of the season at 165 pounds. He tallied six falls and seven major decisions, with his fastest fall coming in 54 seconds. Blees attended Bismarck High School, where he accumulated a record of 250-25 and was a five-time Fargo National All-American. He won the 2013 Junior National freestyle championship at 152 pounds.

    Tech is coming off a 2015-16 season that saw the program record a best-ever fourth place finish at Nationals, with six grapplers earning All-America honors and top six finishes.
