21-1, NCAA third place, All-American, AJ Ferrari is a deserving nominee for CSUB Athletics Athlete of the Year!

Jake Andrews had a turnaround for the ages, using 3 years of bumps and bruises to put it all together for an amazing senior season!

He's up for Play of the Year for the same moment, and how could Richie Castro-Sandoval not be considered for Best Individual Contest with an upset to go to NCAAs!?

Jake Andrews has bled Blue and Gold for 4 years. He's the definition of #BakersfieldGrit

Facing an injury that ends most wrestlers' seasons, Brock Rogers came back in just a couple months and put up some amazing wrestling matches this season!

It's not enough to be a gym rat; Jake Andrews is a Weight Room Warrior!

Our guys invest themselves into Bakersfield, week after week! Proud to be one of the Top 3 teams in community service hours this year!

There will be a Jake Andrews-sized hole in our program next year that will be nearly impossible to replace. He's meant so much to our program!
