All-American Justin Oliver has received his release from Central Michigan. The rising senior from Davison, Michigan, is currently seeking a new home to compete in his final year of NCAA eligibility. 

Oliver told FloWrestling he hasn't spoken to any schools yet but that he's interested in Penn State, Iowa State, North Carolina State, North Dakota State, and "anywhere that will help [him] become the best wrestler [he] can be and win a national title."

Oliver has qualified for three NCAA tournaments, with his highest finish coming in 2016 during his freshman campaign when he placed seventh. Oliver finished in the blood round the last two years, all at 149 pounds. 

Multiple sources have also told FloWrestling that Oliver's teammate, Mason Smith, has requested a release from the Chippewas program. Smith will have junior eligibility next season and is a two-time NCAA qualifier.
