NORMAN — Marquise Overton knows all about big boy wrestling.
It's the saying Jenks wrestling coach Ray Weis used to motivate Overton during his prolific heavyweight high school career.
Overtime matches, extra physicality, grueling workouts: that was big boy wrestling.
And that's what Overton had to channel to get his first collegiate win last week in a triple overtime match against Northern Colorado's Robert Winters.
“It definitely helps with my confidence a lot,” Overton said of capturing his first win. “College wrestling is way different than high school.”
Overton, also a defensive tackle on the football team, is back on the mat after a three-year hiatus.
