The squad only improved this season, with sophomore Corey Jantzen and Caputo joining him among the country’s elite. All three wrestlers hovered in the top 10 for their weight class all season en route to the NCAA championships, with Caputo taking All-American honors for an eighth place finish...
Fortunately for the Crimson, the losses of that 2005 class will be less noticeable thanks to a crop of talented upperclassmen waiting in the wings—players like rising seniors Nick Hasselberg, Jon Takamura, J.B. Monu, and Connor Murphy, who will join Hayes in replacing the departed senior starters from the linebacking corps...
