New transfer to UTC?

[RMC]

If I'm wrong, I'll blame my daughter as she said he posted on his Instagram. 

From what I understand, Logan Ashton from Buford, Ga and Stanford is transferring to UTC with 3 years of eligibility remaining.    Logan was a 2 time Georgia State champ and 2 time runner up.  If my memory serves me correctly, both his losses in the finals were to 4-timer Caden McCrary who is now wrestling at North Carolina.

He was a NCAA qualifier this year...won his pigtail and then lost to #1 seed Suriano of Michigan and then 3-1 to #16 seed Hildebrandt of Penn State.

Buford grad Logan Ashton announced his commitment to the Tennessee-Chattanooga wrestling program Tuesday.

Ashton graduated from Stanford, where he wrestled the past three years, and plans to use his remaining eligibility at UTC while pursuing a master’s degree in business and finance. With a redshirt season and the COVID-19 year, he will have three seasons of eligibility left.

Ashton was third in the Pac-12 Championships at 125 pounds last season and qualified for the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships for the first time.

As a high school wrestler, Ashton went 184-11 with two state championships, two state runner-up finishes and two National High School Coaches Association All-American awards.

 Side note: this four-time finalist from Georgia left a program that was on life-support and qualified for the NCAA championships. Now he’s going after a post graduate degree and continue doing what he loves
