A week after it was reported by NJ.com that Anthony Cassar received an additional two years of eligibility, the reigning NCAA heavyweight champion announced via Instagram that he's returning for one more year.

"After much thought and prayer, I've decided that I will be returning for another year of college wrestling as I prepare for the 2020 Olympic Trials," Cassar wrote on his Instagram.
