Roller Earns Academic Accolades
June 24, 2003 | Cowboy Wrestling
A wrestler qualifies for each team based on his academic work and his performance on the mat.
Roller, who majored in psychology/pre-medicine during his undergraduate work at Oklahoma State, graduated in December 2002 with a 3.34 grade point average.
The Bixby, Okla., native is currently working on his master’s in health and human performance with an emphasis in athletic administration.
Roller is only the second Cowboy wrestler ever named on any Verizon Academic Team. Steven Schmidt was the first wrestler named to the Verizon Academic Team.
Roller ended his career at Oklahoma State with a 103-39 record, posting three consecutive All-America runs and recorded his first conference title during his last season.
He helped the Cowboys make a run to the team’s 31st National Championship after recording three falls in the consolations, including a :34 pin of defending NCAA Champion Luke Becker in the third-place match.
