Outlook
It’s been an offseason of transition for Concordia University, Nebraska Wrestling, which welcomes the 13th head coach in program history. The athletic department announced Josh Watts as the new leader back in July. Watts brings a strong reputation with him following 13 successful years at the helm of the wrestling program at Iowa Western Community College, where he mentored previous Bulldog head coach Chase Clasen.
Watts now takes the baton from Clasen (head coach for two seasons) in continuing to build up a program that won GPAC dual and tournament championships as recently as 2020. Many pieces are in place for Watts to be able to hit the ground running.
“It’s a new challenge,” Watts said. “I spent a total of 17 years in junior college with Darton College (Ga.) and Iowa Western. The new challenge is exciting. The development for a longer period of time is also exciting. The game might be played different from what I was doing the past couple of years with recruiting and so forth. It’s a highly competitive division. There are some nuances to it that are a little bit different but all in all, it’s wrestling. There’s a circle and a mat and you shake hands and you go.”
The program brings back each of its three national qualifiers from last season – Creighton Baughman, Mason Garcia and Tommy Wentz – from a team that placed fifth at the 2024 GPAC tournament. A former All-American at Iowa Western, Baughman has the opportunity to reunite with Watts. Baughman is one of the leaders in a room that has been infused with new faces. The 2024-25 roster features nine freshmen and seven transfers. Baughman is one of six former Reivers on the roster.
The new arrivals have added buzz to the program. Three of the transfers appeared in the GPAC’s preseason ratings within their respective weight classes: Hagen Heistand (second at 157), Cole Price (fifth at 165) and Collin Schwartzkopf (fifth at 197). Heistand transferred from NCAA Division I Campbell University, where he won a combined 29 matches in two seasons. The mix of Concordia veterans and newcomers has made for a unique dynamic during preseason preparation.
Says the Arroyo Grande, Calif., native Garcia of the additions, “They’re studs. They’re really good. They’re really cool guys and they fit our team dynamic really well. It’s been a smooth transition, which seems like it wouldn’t be when you’re moving almost a whole other team in here, but it was. We clicked right away.”
A two-time NAIA national qualifier at 141 pounds, Baughman has claimed 58 combined wins over two seasons as a Bulldog. He opens the season ranked No. 1 in the GPAC and 10th nationally in his weight class. After getting a taste of the national stage, Garcia (No. 17 in the NAIA at 285) and Wentz (No. 18 in the NAIA at 165) also landed in the preseason national rankings. Garcia has been moved up a weight class from 197 to 285. As just a freshman last season, Barret Brandt (174) broke the program record for pins in a single season (24) and narrowly missed out on a trip to the national tournament. Meanwhile, Grant Wells (133) won 20 matches as a sophomore. In the GPAC ratings, Brandt sits No. 5 at 174 and Wells landed at No. 6 at 133.
Others who appeared in the 2024-25 preseason GPAC ratings include freshman Gabe Lujan (fifth at 125), senior Brent Ward (sixth at 157) and senior Hunter Weimer (third at 184). Seven of the 12 Bulldogs who represented the team at the ’24 GPAC tournament have returned while Concordia graduated seniors such as TJ Allen (149), Jeaven Scdoris (157), Stephen Duffy (174) and CJ Laabs (285). Despite those departures, Watt likes what he has seen since he took on the head coaching role.
“They’re hungry to learn,” Watts said. “They really want to get better at wrestling and really want to learn wrestling. We’re doing quite a bit of teaching. They seem to be really receptive to it. They want to be good and their willingness to work hard has been impressive. This is my first time taking over an existing team. My previous two stops I created teams from scratch, so it’s a little bit of a different dynamic for me, but I’m really happy with the roster we have and the character we have on the roster.”
As Garcia prepares for life as a heavyweight (with fewer eating restrictions), he says the adjustment process with a new head coach has been mostly seamless. When hired, Watts immediately moved to tab former Iowa Western national champion Isaiah Crosby as his top assistant. “It’s extremely structured,” said Garcia of the fall semester so far. “Everything is planned out. Everything is told to us beforehand. That really helps us mentally prepare to show up and do our best. I really appreciate that.”
Of course, many of the team’s wrestlers were already familiar with how Watts operates. Watts used his connections to help put the final touches on the 2024-25 roster. He quickly went to work recruiting impact transfers late in the summer.
“I wanted to bring in some guys who understood my philosophy,” Watts said. “We brought in Cole Price, who was a redshirt sophomore for me last year at Iowa Western. He’s a two-time All-American. We also brought in Blake Boehmer and Collin Schwartzkopf, guys who have been with me. We also got Hagen Heistand, who is a transfer from Campbell. I worked with him as a little kid. Steve Barnes was previously going to school at Iowa State. He was someone who wrestled in my youth club. I wanted to bring in some guys who understood my philosophy and could help relay what I’m saying to the team.”
In terms of expectations, Watts is letting the team hammer out their own goals. Individually, Garcia doesn’t hesitate when asked – he will do what it takes in an attempt to put himself on the podium come early March. Several of his teammates will have similar aspirations within the context of the team goals. Concordia was placed third in the preseason GPAC team ratings behind Doane and Morningside.
The program’s list of All-Americans has held at 18 in number since Maria Ybarra earned such distinction in 2021. Watts will attempt to grow that number in 2025.
“As far as goal setting, that’s an internal thing with the team,” Watts said. “I’m a big believer in the team sets the goals, not the coaching staff. At the beginning of the year, we divide up into three groups and they set their goals for the year. From that point forward, it’s the coaching staff’s job to hold them accountable to those goals. That usually creates more buy-in from the team if they are the ones setting the expectations. We have our day-to-day expectations, academic expectations and standards that we set. On the competitive side, they set their standards and we hold them accountable to them.”
The 2024-25 campaign is slated to get underway with the Luther Hill Invite hosted by Simpson University (Iowa) on Nov. 2. Dual action will get started on Nov. 6 with a matchup at Midland. In total, the schedule includes seven regular season tournaments. The Bulldogs will host a portion of GPAC Day of Duals No. 1 on Nov. 26. Hastings will serve as the host of the 2025 GPAC Tournament.

Karlin, Wentz win titles as Bulldogs combine for 10 top-two placements at Luther Hill Invite
Nov. 2, 2024
INDIANOLA, Iowa – The 2024-25 season got underway for a group of 18 Bulldogs at the Luther Hill Invite hosted by Simpson University on Saturday (Nov. 2). Those representatives of the Concordia University, Nebraska Wrestling program combined for 37 wins and 14 individual place finishes as Josh Watts made his debut as head coach of the Bulldogs. Bryce Karlin (133) and Tommy Wentz (165) both claimed titles within their respective weight classes in the open division of a tournament that featured competitors from 17 institutions from various levels of collegiate wrestling.
The tournament is just a starting point for Watts’ squad, which was pegged at No. 3 in the GPAC in the preseason ratings. Said Watts, “I’m happy with how the team competed today. I feel we laid a good foundation to build on and identified areas we need to work on. I look forward to getting back to the practice room on Monday.”
A returning national qualifier, Wentz won each of his three matches on Saturday at 165 pounds. He opened the day with a major decision over Central College (Iowa)’s Kevin Hogan and continued with a 4-2 decision over Grand View University (Iowa)’s Brock Moore and then a win in a tiebreaker over teammate Brent Ward in the championship bout. As for Karlin, he dominated with three-consecutive pins. The final one occurred in the first period in a wipeout of Quincy’s Isaac Bourge.
As shown below, there were eight Bulldogs who were runners up within their weight classes. That crew included wrestlers who competed in the freshman/sophomore divisions. The second-place Concordia finishers included Steven Barnes (149), Francisco Mendez (157), Simon Arredondo (165), Ward (165), Barret Brandt (174), Hunter Weimer (184), Torrance Keehn (197) and Teegan Tschampel (197). Brandt is looking to follow up a fine freshman season that saw him break the program record for pins in a season with 24. Brandt notched one pin on Saturday.

Three triumphs apiece were delivered by Karlin (133), Wentz (165), Arredondo (165), Brandt (174), Evan Sepanlou (184) and Keehn (197). Concordia combined for seven pins on the day. Of the four Bulldogs currently ranked nationally, Wentz (18th at 165) was the only one to compete in Indianola. Creighton Baughman (10th at 141), Hagen Heistand (25th at 157) and Mason Garcia (17th at 285) will soon get their 2024-25 seasons underway.
The Bulldogs now shift focus to the first dual of the 2024-25 season. Concordia will be in Fremont, Neb., on Wednesday for a clash with Midland at 7 p.m. CT.

Bulldogs trounce Warriors in GPAC opening dual
Nov. 6, 2024
FREMONT, Neb. – In opening the 2024-25 GPAC dual season, the Concordia University, Nebraska Wrestling team held Midland without an offensive point until the final two matches of the evening. As part of the dominant outing, the Bulldogs won seven of nine contested bouts and emerged from the Wikert Event Center in Fremont, Neb., with a 36-6 win on Wednesday (Nov. 6). Pins were delivered by Concordia’s Bryce Karlin, Barret Brandt and Hunter Weimer.
The result marked the first dual win in the Bulldog tenure of Head Coach Josh Watts. Officially, the dual marked the second event of the season for Concordia, which competed this past weekend at the Luther Hill Invite.
“Overall, we wrestled decently well,” Watts said. “I think we still have a lot of room to improve. We’ll get back to work tomorrow, but it was a good win. The team did a good job wrestling to score points. We just need to do a better job of applying pressure and keeping the pressure on.”
A native of Beatrice, Neb., Karlin has opened his junior season with a bang. In Wednesday’s action, Karlin recorded a takedown before wiping out Jackson Duncan in 1:34 at 141 pounds. The win pushed Karlin to 4-0 with four pins on the year. By the time the 174- and 184-pound clashes concluded, the Bulldogs had built an insurmountable 30-0 lead in the team score.
At 174, the sophomore Brandt scored a takedown and eight total near-fall points before nailing his counterpart to the mat in 2:18. The pin represented the 26th career fall for the Syracuse, Neb., native. Up next, Weimer (Porterville, Calif.) went on the attack and collected three takedowns and four near-fall points before ending the match at the 4:01 mark.
Additional wins were put on the board by Aidan Trowbridge (forfeit at 133), Steven Barnes (major decision at 149), Francisco Mendez (decision at 157) and Tommy Wentz (technical fall at 165). Both Barnes (8-0 major) and Mendez (10-3 decision) appeared in a dual for the first time as Bulldogs. Meanwhile, the returning national qualifier Wentz polished off his 165-pound opponent in 4:40 while collecting three takedowns and seven near-fall points.
Concordia has won seven-straight dual meetings with Midland. The Warriors cracked the scoreboard at 197 and 285 thanks to the respective efforts of Burton Brandt (brother of Barret) and Zeph Sivels. Bulldog heavyweight Mason Garcia, a returning national qualifier, made his first appearance of the season and was clipped, 4-1, by Sivels. Midland wound up with four total takedowns (compared to 13 by the Bulldogs) for the evening.
Karlin and Wentz carried over their strong performances from their championships at the Luther Hill Invite. Said Watts of Karlin, “Bryce is doing a really good job. We had to move him up a weight class today since Creighton (Baughman) is gone (but set to return soon). Bryce is being aggressive and wrestling very physical. He’s attacking to score points, which is what we preach. I think he can continue that and continue to get better.”
A group of Bulldogs will be headed to Mitchell, S.D., for this Saturday’s Dakota Wesleyan Open. The tournament is scheduled to get underway at 9 a.m. CT. The next dual on the slate is set for Nov. 22 when Concordia will make a visit to Hastings.
Price stars in Concordia debut as 14 Bulldogs compete at DWU Open
Nov. 9, 2024
MITCHELL, S.D. – A transfer from Iowa Western Community College, Cole Price made a strong first impression in his first appearance in the Bulldog singlet. The La Vista, Neb., native won five matches on Saturday (Nov. 9) while highlighting the efforts of the Concordia University, Nebraska Wrestling team at the Dakota Wesleyan University Open. Fourteen Bulldog grapplers combined for 22 victories in a challenging field featuring wrestlers from more than 20 institutions.
The tournament marked the third outing of the season for Head Coach Josh Watts’ squad. Earlier in the week, Concordia earned a 36-6 GPAC dual win over Midland.
“We had a solid showing,” Watts said of the DWU Open. “Cole finished top four and Mason was one win away from placing top eight at a very strong open. Mason looked more confident and comfortable moving up to 285. This was Cole’s first competition of the year, and he put a solid showing together. He wrestled smart and finished almost every time he touched a leg.”
Price wrestled the maximum number of matches in a single day and wound up in fourth place in the 165-pound bracket. Price opened his day with a first-period pin of Bismarck State Community College’s Dillon Spaulding and proceeded to win three matches by decision and another by major decision. His final victory of the day came over an NCAA Division II opponent from Northern State University (S.D.).
A national qualifier last season at 197 pounds, Garcia continues to get acclimated to the heavyweight class. His tournament included a trio of wins, including two pins, one over a Jamestown opponent. The Arroyo Grande, Calif., native’s bid for a tournament place finish was denied by a tight 3-1 decision that ended his run. Garcia is ranked 18th in the NAIA at 285. The team’s two additional nationally ranked wrestlers (Creighton Baughman and Tommy Wentz) did not compete in Mitchell.
Of the 14 Bulldogs to take the mats at the DWU Open, 10 emerged with at least one victory. In addition to Garcia and Price, five Concordia competitors won multiple matches: Grant Wells (3-2 at 133), Brent Ward (2-2 at 165), Garret Moser (2-2 at 184), Calvin Gross (2-2 at 197) and Teegan Tschampel (2-2 at 197). Three others triumphed exactly one time: Ramon Arredondo (174), Simon Arredondo (165) and Collin Schwartzkopf (197). Collectively, Concordia posted 11 pins with two apiece from Garcia, Gross and Tschampel.
The next event on the schedule will be a dual at Hastings on Friday, Nov. 22. In last season's matchup in Seward, the Bulldogs pummeled the Broncos, 41-9. Hastings finished last season at 1-7 in GPAC duals before placing eighth at the 2024 GPAC Wrestling Championships.
Bulldogs pin their way to win at Hastings, move to 2-0 in GPAC
Nov. 22, 2024
HASTINGS, Neb. – Hastings made the Bulldogs sweat in a Friday (Nov. 22) dual while jumping out to leads of 12-0 and 18-6. However, the Concordia University, Nebraska Wrestling team responded with a flurry of bonus-point victories and emerged from Kiewit Gym with a 33-22 team triumph. Pins were delivered by Bulldogs Creighton Baughman (141), Barret Brandt (174), Hunter Weimer (184) and Teegan Tschampel (197). Only two matches went the full seven minutes in a dual that concluded in less than an hour.
Head Coach Josh Watts’ squad moved to 2-0 in the GPAC with a win also coming over Midland, 36-6. Watts saw plenty of room for improvement after breaking down the dual at Hastings.
“I think we need to tighten things up,” Watts said. “We wrestled too sloppy. It goes back to all the little things – how we practice and how we drill. I felt like we did a good job of chasing bonus points in the matches. We had a couple weight classes where we had stalling calls. That just can’t be a thing.”
A two-time NAIA national qualifier, Baughman (ranked 10th in the NAIA at 141) made his first appearance of the 2024-25 season and promptly rounded into form. The Papillion, Neb., native wiped out Hastings’ Dalton Michael in 2:12 for the 59th win of his Concordia career. After the Broncos got a pin from Jordan Tobias at 149, the Bulldogs went on the offensive with a dominant string of bouts from 157 through 197.
In the 157-pound tussle, Concordia’s Francisco Mendez nearly recorded the pin before taking a major decision from Israel Manriquez. The dominoes continued as Cole Price earned a 19-4 technical fall of Nicholas Freeland, Brandt pinned Esteban Sedano in 1:51, Weimer nailed down Trevor Leon in 1:55 and Tschampel polished off Matheson Rodriguez in just 37 seconds. All four of the Bulldog pins on the night occurred in the first period. Brandt collected his third pin of this season after breaking the school record with 24 pins as a freshman in 2023-24.
From a team perspective, Concordia posted 14 takedowns to Hastings’ three and the Bulldogs were awarded near-fall points in five separate instances. Said Watts, “65 through 97 really came through for us tonight. They went out there aggressively and chased bonus points. They won the dual for us. They did a fantastic job. It was also good having Creighton in the lineup for the first time this year. He will definitely be a big asset to us.”
Each of the four Hastings wins came with bonus points. The Broncos got six points for a forfeit at 125 prior to pins from Justin Rodriguez (133) and Tobias. To close out the evening, Koen Mattern won an 11-0 major decision at heavyweight. Hastings slipped to 3-2 overall in duals in what was its first clash with a GPAC opponent this season.
The Bulldogs will be right back to action on Saturday morning for the Younes Hospitality Open hosted by the University of Nebraska-Kearney. Wrestling is slated to get underway at 9 a.m. CT from Buffalo County Fairgrounds in Kearney, Neb. Watts plans to have 18 competitors take to the mats in Kearney.
Bulldogs combine for 11 wins at Younes Hospitality Open
Nov. 23, 2024
KEARNEY, Neb. – A group of 14 Bulldogs tested itself against strong competition on Saturday (Nov. 23) at the annual Younes Hospitality Open hosted by NCAA Division II University of Nebraska-Kearney. A total of 11 wins were claimed by Concordia University, Nebraska wrestlers at Buffalo County Fairgrounds, which hosted grapplers from 54 institutions. The tournament format included “elite” and “amateur” brackets.
The occasion marked the third tournament of the 2024-25 season for Head Coach Josh Watts’ squad. The majority of the team’s top wrestlers were held out of the tournament following Friday night’s 33-22 dual win at Hastings. Said Watts, “The guys competed hard today. Simon (Arredondo) wrestled well and the freshmen are showing growth from previous competitions. We look forward to getting ready for the GPAC Duals.”
The four Bulldogs who competed in the elite brackets each went 0-2 while taking lessons away from a series of matchups with NCAA Division II foes. In the amateur brackets, five Concordia wrestlers emerged with two wins apiece: Tyler Flynn (133), Dominick Flynn (149), Simon Arredondo (165), Blane Boehmer (184) and Collin Schwartzkopf (197). Both of Boehmer’s wins came via fall while Flynn notched one pin. In addition, Calvin Gross posted one win at 197 pounds.
A significant day of conference wrestling will take place on Tuesday when the Bulldogs host GPAC Day of Duals No. 1. The first round of duals is scheduled to get underway at 12 p.m. CT inside Friedrich Arena. The schedule for the day is included below. All duals will be streamed via the GPAC Network.

Brandt stars as Bulldogs defeat DWU, fall to Morningside in GPAC Duals
Nov. 26, 2024
SEWARD, Neb. – In an event that will help decide who ultimately wins the GPAC regular season title, Concordia University, Nebraska Wrestling hosted all nine conference members on Tuesday (Nov. 26). As part of GPAC Day of Duals No. 1, the Bulldogs handled Dakota Wesleyan, 32-10, before falling by the same score while up against Morningside. Individually for Concordia, Steven Barnes, Creighton Baughman and Barret Brandt each went 2-0 on the day. There were eight total duals wrestled inside Friedrich Arena in the first of two largescale duals days for the conference.
Head Coach Josh Watts’ squad stands at 3-1 in GPAC duals on the season. The Bulldogs managed to avenge their loss to Dakota Wesleyan from the 2023-24 season.
“We’re competing hard,” Watts said. “We’re being aggressive and wrestling to score points. We were chasing bonus points in both of those duals. The guys fought hard. We have room to improve, but we’re working on it. We have to fix some stuff. We have to get our sprawling together and get some chain wrestling going. We’re doing it in spurts. When we do it, we score or we stop them from scoring. We have to be more consistent.”
In the day’s first dual, Concordia surrendered the first bout by major decision before then going on a roll. The Bulldogs won eight of the final nine matches versus Dakota Wesleyan, including triumphs by bonus points from Bryce Karlin (pin at 133), Baughman (major at 141), Brandt (pin at 174) and Hunter Weimer (major at 184). Victories by decision were claimed by Barnes (149), Tommy Wentz (165), Teegan Tschampel (197) and Mason Garcia (285). The two-time NAIA national qualifier Baughman posted the 60th and 61st wins of his Bulldog career. Concordia notched 20 takedowns compared to DWU’s seven for the dual.
The school record holder for pins in a single season, Brandt (Syracuse, Neb.) is a threat to end each match at any moment. He highlighted Concordia’s efforts against the perennially strong Mustangs by upsetting the GPAC’s top-ranked 174-pounder, Alex Vandyke (ranked No. 18 in the NAIA). Brandt (7-1 record on the season) nearly pinned Vandyke before polishing off a 10-1 major decision.
“I really worked on patience,” Brandt said. “Staying in my ties, working him and making him tired for the second and third periods. We want to gas them out. I kind of got lucky on that first-period near-fall. Third period, I took him down and rode him out.”
Said Watts of Brandt, “Barret’s tough. We’re working on some things with him right now. Barret can be one of the top guys in the country. I believe in him. Once he tweaks some things, he’s going to be really dangerous.”
A fine day for Barnes at 149 also included a win over Morningside’s Chris Aragon. The Bulldogs could have made the team scoring tighter if not for close losses by Grant Wells (133) and Cole Price (165). Overall, Concordia won 11 matches on the day. It entered the weekend narrowly ranked in front of the Mustangs for the No. 2 spot in the GPAC.
The next event on the schedule is the Doane University Open slated for Saturday, Dec. 7. The tournament is slated to get underway at 9 a.m. CT from Crete, Neb. GPAC dual action will resume on Dec. 13 when Doane will make a visit to Friedrich Arena.
SEWARD, Neb. – A strong start in GPAC dual action led to Concordia University, Nebraska graduate student Creighton Baughman earning conference accolades on Wednesday (Nov. 27). As announced by the league office, Baughman has been named the GPAC/Hauff Mid-America Sports Wrestler of the Week. Baughman has earned this distinction for the third time in his career.
The award was based on Baughman’s efforts in last week’s 33-22 dual win at Hastings. In that outing, Baughman pinned the Broncos’ Dalton Michael in 2:42. It was Baughman’s first appearance of the 2024-25 season. A Papillion, Neb., native and former All-American at Iowa Western Community College, Baughman proceeded to win twice on Tuesday at the GPAC Day of Duals. He has accumulated 61 victories in his Concordia career and is a two-time NAIA national qualifier.
Head Coach Josh Watts’ squad stands at 3-1 after defeating Dakota Wesleyan and falling at the hands of Morningside on Tuesday. The next event on the schedule is the Doane University Open on Dec. 7.
