Tristan Moran Is Headed To The University Of Wisconsin
Tristan Moran will transfer to the Wisconsin Badgers and will available to wrestle this fall with junior eligibility.
Tristan Moran is headed to Madison as Chris Bono continues to add to an already-impressive Badger lineup.
Moran announced he was transferring out of Oklahoma State earlier this summer, where he spent that last three seasons competing for the Cowboys. Moran will be able to start immediately this fall and will have junior eligibility due to the redshirt season he took at Oklahoma State.
Moran broke the news of his move to Wisconsin today via Twitter:

Moran had amassed a 61-17 record participating mostly in tournaments for the Cowboys. He placed at the Reno Tournament of Champions all three seasons, improving from fourth to third to second in consecutive seasons.
Some of Moran's most impressive wins have come at the Southern Scuffle, where he has beaten two NCAA All-Americans, both coming by way of pinfall. In the 2017 edition of the prestigious tourney, Moran knocked off Minnesota's Tommy Thorn, an eighth-place finisher at the 2017 NCAAs. At the 2018 Scuffle, Moran decked last season's runner-up, Ronnie Perry of Lock Haven.
Although Moran wrestled at both 149 and 157 last season, he is projected to wrestle at 141 for the Badgers. Moran was a 141 pounder for the entirety of his first two seasons with the Cowboys.
