WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue wrestling team is set to return to the mat for Boilermaker Wrestle Offs on Friday, October 25, the first public event of the 2024-25 season. Matches for the annual exhibition scrimmage will begin at 7 p.m. in Holloway Gymnasium.
The Purdue wrestlers will be split into two teams — Team Gold and Team Black — to compete against each other in a series of 10 matches with no intermission.
The 10 wrestlers on Team Gold will be rocking gray and gold singlets while Team Black will don black singlets with a gold Purdue Motion P logo.
Head coach Tony Ersland, in his 11th season at the helm of the program, leads the Boilermakers into action for the first time since March.
Purdue's 60th All-American and 2023 NCAA runner-up Matt Ramos, currently ranked No. 5 in the country (125 pounds) by various outlets, returns for his redshirt senior season.
The Lockport, Illinois, native will look to leave it all on the mat as the team's only senior, ultimately aiming for Big Ten Conference domination and another shot at the NCAA Championships.
Every Boilermaker who qualified for last season's NCAA Championships earned a spot in the national preseason rankings, including Ramos, Joey Blaze (No. 15 at 157), Stoney Buell (No. 22 at 165), Greyson Clark (No. 23 at 141) and Brody Baumann (No. 31 at 174).
The five ranked stars will all be in action Friday night, taking on their Purdue brethren in preparation for their first regular season bout a week later.
Doors to Holloway will open at 6 p.m. and all seating will be first come first served. The event will also be live-streamed on B1G+. Follow @PurdueWrestling on X/Twitter to keep up with all the latest news and match-by-match coverage of the event.
