It won’t be long before we see the Ohio State wrestling team take to its new digs at the Covelli Center and give the fans a pretty unique and exhilarating experience. It should be another exciting one in which the team competes for a Big Ten title and is in the national picture once again.
But before that, it’ll need to designate some leaders for the season. On that note, thanks to a press-release by Ohio State, we know who the team captains will be for the upcoming campaign. Seniors Kollin Moore and Luke Pletcher will be the guys captaining what they hope is a season with a lot of hardware and memories to reflect upon.
Here’s the complete release from the university.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Kollin Moore and Luke Pletcher will serve as team captains for the 100th season of Ohio State University Wrestling. The senior tandem has been embedded in the starting lineup since campus arrival as freshmen and are now solidified as the 2019-20 Buckeye leaders.
