Please let me know if any of the above information is incorrect and needs to be changed or if any additions or deletions need to be made to the above list. On additions it helps if I receive a confirmation by posting or private message from the wrestler, a parent, high school coach or college coach. Also it helps if I can get any accomplishments like state championships, state placing or qualifying, league titles so I can make special mention of that in the announcement with the listing. A link to a newspaper article of the signing is also a good confirmation source. Thank you

Please let me know if any of the above information is incorrect and needs to be changed or if any additions or deletions need to be made to the above list. On additions it helps if I receive a confirmation by posting or private message from the wrestler, a parent, high school coach or college coach. Also it helps if I can get any accomplishments like state championships, state placing or qualifying, league titles so I can make special mention of that in the announcement with the listing. A link to a newspaper article of the signing is also a good confirmation source. Thank you

Jesse Trent, Congratulations on your multi-sport high school career. Good luck next year with your academics and football at Fort Hays State University.

Brandon Vukas who wrestled for De Soto High School and Head Wrestling Coach Shannon Sawner will wrestle next year for Labette Community College.

Brandon was a state placer this year with a 6th place finish in 4A 171 with a 39-11 record.

Brandon Vukas, Congratulations on your high school wrestling career. Good luck next year with your academics and wrestling at Labette Community College.

Joe Hambleton is a former Kansas high school wrestler and I thought it would be good to include in this topic a copy of an article that is currently on a topic in the College forum. This is an example of a young wrestler who is achieving outstanding results in college both on and off the mat. This is our hope for all of our young wrestlers who are on this list in this topic and are going on to wrestle in college next year. Congratulations, Joe Hambleton, on your success in college both on and off the mat.
