Oklahoma State wrestling: Heavyweight Connor Webb makes Bedlam transfer to Cowboys

Connor Webb traded in crimson and cream for America’s Brightest Orange when he transferred from Oklahoma to Oklahoma State.

The heavyweight wrestler went 5-22, including 2-14 in dual action, as a freshman for the Sooners during the 2017-18 season. He redshirted the next season and did not compete this past season, according to his bio on OSU’s website.

Webb, a three-time state champion from Davis, Oklahoma, joins fellow redshirt junior Cornelius Putnam and true freshmen Konner Doucet and George Marsh at heavyweight on OSU’s roster for the 2020-21 campaign. Putnam went 1-3 in four dual matches this past season, with his lone win against Missouri’s Jacob Bohlken in overtime.

OSU coach John Smith bumped up 197-pounder Austin Harris to be the Cowboys’ starter at heavyweight this past season. Harris was 5-12 and struggled against bigger opponents. Smith will likely turn to the four true heavyweights to fill the spot this upcoming season.
