STILLWATER, Okla. -- Coach John Smith and the Oklahoma State wrestling program have added another star to the Cowboy roster, announcing the addition of two-time All-American Tyler Caldwell.
Caldwell wrestled at 165 pounds as a freshman and sophomore at Oklahoma and put together impressive performances both seasons.
He was the 2011 NCAA runner-up after beating the defending NCAA champion, Andrew Howe of Wisconsin, in the semifinals and he finished fifth at the 2010 NCAA Championships as an unseeded freshman. He holds a career collegiate record of 63-20, including a 32-6 mark as a sophomore and a 31-14 record as a freshman.
The Wichita, Kan., native will seek immediate eligibility after taking an Olympic redshirt year in 2011-12 and has potentially two years remaining to compete at the collegiate level.
At the 2012 U.S. Olympic Wrestling Trials in April, Caldwell reached the semifinals of the 74 kg bracket.
He put together a 150-4 overall record while lettering four years at Goddard High School in Kansas. He was a two-time Greco All-American and four-time Kansas state champion and holds the state record for most falls in a career with 125.
