The Lakeland University men's wrestling program will benefit from an influx of 12 more student-athletes to its roster in the fall.

Head Coach Mike DeRoehn shared his genuine enthusiasm about the group:

"It's exciting to bring in another strong class of the right kids who want to be part of the program we're re-building. I'm grateful they chose to be Muskies and can't wait to connect them with our group of upperclassmen returning, who have been instrumental in the progress we've been making. I believe the future continues to look bright for Muskie Wrestling!" 

In addition to 11 newcomers to the program, the Muskies are excited to welcome back 2024 Lakeland graduate Nidal Farah (Ventura, Calif.), who will pursue his master's degree and utilize his final year of eligibility.
