Dieffenbach Off The Mat
I chose to attend Oklahoma State because: Coming here gives me the best chance to win.
If I would describe myself as a wrestler, I would say: I'm deceptive.
If I were to describe myself as a person, I would say: I'm quiet and laid-back.
I would describe John Smith: As being intense on the mat and having a good sense of humor off of it.
My favorite thing about being in Stillwater is: The wrestling.
My favorite thing about being a wrestler at Oklahoma State is: Being part of the winningest program in college sports.
If I was talking to someone who didn't know about wrestling and they asked me about the Oklahoma State wrestling program, I would say: It's the New York Yankees of amateur sports.
I have been told that I look like: Nathan Morgan.
If I could compete in any other sport besides wrestling, it would be: Baseball.
The thing that inspires me when I compete is: Winning.
The proudest moment of my life so far was: Winning NAIA Nationals twice.
When I'm not wrestling or in school, I enjoy: Fishing and four-wheeling.
