Meet the new recruits – AAS2E8 - a podcast by Jason Bryant, Mat Talk Podcast Network

The three newest members of the Boilermaker family join the Always Aggressive Podcast as we welcome Stoney Buell, Dustin Norris and Ben Vanadia to Purdue. The trio joins head coach Tony Ersland to talk about they chose Purdue, why Purdue chose them and what the future holds. Ersland also discusses the Boilermakers' return to the mat this weekend as a group heads West to Omaha, Nebraska for the U23 and UWW Junior National Freestyle Championships. All three Boilermaker commits were top-100 rated recruits in the various national recruiting rankings, and they were all in the top-75 of both FloWrestling and The Open Mat. Norris projects at 133 or 141 pounds, Buell at 165 or 174 pounds and Vanadia at 197 or heavyweight. Ten Boilermakers have made their way to Omaha and weigh in Friday evening for the national freestyle championships. Seven Boilermakers will compete at the U23 division, while the other three are entered in the UWW Juniors division (U20).
