149 Pound Wrestle-Offs
Rickey Bronson - Rickey is a true freshman that came to UB from one of the premier high schools in the state, Chenango Forks High School. He placed a very solid 5th at the NHSCA Junior Nationals and qualified for the state tournament three times while beating several highly ranked wrestlers in high school. Now he is looking to improve upon that success in college. Rickey is a very hard worker. Fun Fact: Rickey claims that he once ate a BigMac with 10 burger patties on it in one sitting, which is pretty impressive and disgusting at the same time.
Desi Green - Desi is a star on the UB Team. He is ranked to be a pre-season All-American and is looking to win a National Title. Desi is on track to be the first 4 time National Qualifer at UB. He is as talented as anyone in the country. He won a MAC Championship last year after finishing 2nd as a freshman. Even though he is only just begining his junior season, his name is all over the UB record books. He set the UB single-season takedown record as a freshman and was on track to break that record last year but missed a month of the season with a knee injury. He has been a two-time NYS Collegiate Finalist and UB Open Champion. Desi should be the first wrestler in UB history to break 100 wins as a junior. Fun Fact: Desi has not cut his hair since his senior year of high school and now has dreadlocks past his shouders. He is required to wear a hairnet when he wrestles.
Jimmy Loomis - Jimmy is one of four wrestlers on the team that wrestled for Coach Bill Kays at Mexico High School (there must be something in the water in Mexico, NY). He was a three time state qualifier and top 16 at NHSCA Senior Nationals. He is very aggressive and constantly on the attack. Fun Fact: Jimmy claims that he beat his high school coach, Coach Kays, in a crab leg eatting contest at NHSCA Nationals.
Wally Maziarz – Wally is a freshman from just down the road in Tonawanda. He won 149 matches in high school and has put a great deal of time into getting better this spring and summer. He was injured the majority of his senior year but is finally 100% healthy and ready to go. Fun Fact: Wally has boxed for five years
