One of Ohio State's legacies will finish his wrestling career at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga: Rocky Jordan announced his move via his Instagram Wednesday.
Jordan posted an overall record of 12-7 for Ohio State last season, and a career record at 49-26. The two-time NCAA qualifier was part of a multi-weight logjam last year with Ethan Smith and Kaleb Romero each moving up a class, leaving Jordan on the outside looking in as Gavin Hoffman manned the 197-pound spot down the stretch.
The St. Paris Graham standout was the third in a line of Jordan brothers to wrestle for Tom Ryan, following current assistant coach Bo Jordan and older brother Micah through the program. With Romero and Hoffman expected to man 184 and 197 again next year, Jordan looked like the odd man out once again.
Jordan's best year in scarlet and gray was his redshirt freshman campaign when he placed fifth at the Big Ten Championships and finished the season with a record of 29-9 with five major decisions and a team-high seven tech falls.
Prior to his arrival in Columbus, he was a three-time Division II Ohio high school state champion, reaching the finals all four of his high school season. He was undefeated as a junior and senior, goinga combined 80-0 over his final two years of scholastic competition.
