WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Purdue wrestling crew is back for season four episode four of the Always Aggressive podcast. A new member joins the ranks alongside head coach Tony Ersland and company to talk all things Boilermaker wrestling with wrestle offs just one month away. 

Coach Ersland breaks down what stood out to him from the 2022 World Wrestling Championships that concluded last week, including his thoughts on the women's team and what Jordan Burroughs was able to accomplish. 

The Big Ten schedule breakdown came next as the guys talked through the road ahead of the Boilermakers in the conference this season. Home duals against Iowa (Jan. 8), Indiana (Jan. 28), Nebraska (Feb. 5) and Northwestern (Feb. 12) and away matches with Illinois (Jan. 14), Wisconsin (Jan. 20), Minnesota (Jan. 22) and Maryland (Feb. 10) make for a balanced and very interesting schedule for Purdue. 

 

 FloWrestling and Intermat released their preseason rankings earlier this week as well and the guys dive in to where our Boilermakers stack up and where there are opportunities for growth. The youth of this team provides plenty of chances for new faces to stake their claim on a significant role this season.
