Rose State College enters a new era of wrestling this season. In November of 2025, the school announced they were bringing back the shuttered men’s program and starting a women’s team. A few months later, they announced the blockbuster hire of Division One NCAA Champion and Carl Albert grad Jason Powell as their head coach.
Powell now has his room, his first recruiting classes, and is underway in the first season back for the Raiders.
We caught up with Jason and a few of his wrestlers last week. Hear what the first few months of the program have been like and what some of the expectations are for this season at the links below.
