Transfer NCAA titleists

[Wrestleknownothing]

Does anyone have a list of transfers who went on to win an NCAA title?

Off the top of my head I can think of TJ Jaworsky, Seth Gross, Bubba Jenkins, Greg Kerkvliet, Max Dean, Nick Suriano.

Who am I forgetting?

[Wrestleknownothing]

Brent Metcalf, Steve Mocco, and Mark Schultz, too.

[Winners Circle]

Tony Purler. Okie State to Nebraska.

Tom Ryan was nearly on that list.

Here is an even rarer one, who already won a title and then transferred?

 

Chuck Jean won 2 titles for Iowa St then finished at Adams St in NAIA.

Steve Mocco won at Iowa the OK St

Sam Henson I believe transferred from Missouri to Clemson

Aaron Holker transferred from BYU when it dropped their program to ISU

[Gambatte]

Billy Stuart, Lehigh, 1965 NCAA Champ (137 lbs), transferred from Brown University.

Greg Ruth, Oklahoma U, 2x NCAA Champ (‘65, ‘66), transferred from Lehigh after a stint in the Army

Now that you mention BYU, Chael Sonnen transferred from BYU and never lost another match or even another period.

It's a 1/2 transfer.  He was still practicing in the PSU room while at Lock Haven.

Really? I did not know this. Could you tell us more? Like, were all parties ok with this?

I was a youngster during this era so I don't know all the details.  But, Kolat did make the short 30 min drive to practice with PSU while at Lock Haven and he and Fritz have a good relationship.  According to Kolat he only left because Fritz wouldn't allow him to redshirt for the '95 season.
