Buchanan Transferring To Oklahoma

Tuesday, December 27th, 2022 -- 12:42 PM

Former Loyal High School wrestling champion Stephen Buchanan is transferring to Oklahoma.  Stephen has wrestled for the University of Wyoming for the last three seasons.

He finished eighth in the nation at 197 for Wyoming in the 2021 national championships, and last season took third place at 197 after he was ranked as high as number-two in the nation in the national individual wrestling poll.  Stephen has an overall college wrestling record of 68-22, including 28-3 for Wyoming last season. 

Oklahoma now has a seventh-year senior wrestling at 197, so it is likely that Stephen will redshirt this season, and wrestle for the Sooners next season.  He will have two years of eligibility remaining at Oklahoma. 

Stephen won the WIAA Division II state championship for Neillsville/Greenwood/Loyal at 182 in 2018, and then won the state title at 195 in 2019.
