Simpson Off The Mat
I chose to attend Oklahoma State because: It is no doubt the best at wrestling.
If I would describe myself as a wrestler, I would say: I'm a funky and weird wrestler.
I would describe John Smith: As being intimidating but a fun guy to be around.
My favorite thing about being in Stillwater is: It is close to home and everyone is nice.
My favorite thing about being a wrestler at Oklahoma State is: That we win and we do not accept losing well.
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 best in the world.
If I could compete in any other sport besides wrestling, it would be: Rodeo.
If I could trade places with anyone in the world for a day, it would be: Ty Murray (Professional Bull Rider)
The thing that inspires me when I compete is: The feeling of success after winning a big match.
The proudest moment of my life so far was: The day I stepped off the mat at national duals in Iowa my freshman year after pinning my opponent.
When I'm not wrestling or in school, I enjoy: Riding horses and doing odd things outside.
