2023 NCAA Division II The Season: Minot State

 



The Beavers return three Super Region Place-winners from last season all of whom have the talent & ability to be NCAA DII qualifiers this season. 

125 lbs
Oscar Nellis 

California native Oscar Nellis goes into his final year as a Beaver having earned a 5th place finish at the Super Region V last season. 

149 lbs
Shadi Mitwalli 

Pretty much repeat what I just said. Another California native going into this senior season who placed 5th at the Super Region V is Shad Mitwalli.  

157 lbs
Nathan Baca 

Just a bad Super Region V tournament last season, that's all. Sucks, but it happens. Nathan Baca is for sure a top six wrestler in the Region.  He'll prove that this season.  He stuck Mary's R12'er Braydon Huber in just thirty three seconds & he also had a 3-1 victory over Ben Durocher of UW-Parkside. He'll earn a Region medal this season. 

HWT
Jordan Will or Jake Swirple 

Here's where things get interesting. You have two outstanding athletes that compete on both the gridiron and the mat. Both Jordan Will & Jake Swirple are also members of the Beaver football team.  Will an NCAA DII qualifier in 2019 was 5th in the Super Region V last season.  Swirple himself went 13-0 on the season, this included a 3-1 sudden victory over Will.  Can you say excellent wrestle-off? Swirple also defeated Gerardo Jaime of Mary last season as well.
