Kyle Snyder, Bo Jordan and Nathan Tomasello will never again wrestle under the aegis of The Ohio State University. Three of the most successful wrestlers in program history finished their collegiate careers on a national runner-up team last March at the NCAA Championship in Cleveland.
Replacing them, each four-time All Americans, with Snyder a three-time NCAA champ and Tomasello never finishing worse than third in the final tournament of the season, is no small task. Head coach Tom Ryan knows that if his squad is to have a shot at back-to-back-to-back Big Ten titles – let alone have any hope of toppling Penn State's NCAA tournament dynasty – the young guns have to live up to some lofty expectations.
