The Binghamton University wrestling team and head coach Kyle Borshoff have announced the addition of 11 newcomers for the 2020-21 season. The incoming recruiting class features wrestlers from four different states and nine projected weight classes.

"I am very excited about this incoming class," Borshoff said. "I expect them to have a big impact right away as they fight for starting spots, and make their teammates around them better. Adding these 11 guys to our room will have a huge benefit on the training situation for each guy that is already in the program."
