Tejovan Edwards’ feel-good wrestling story has turned into a nightmare.

Earlier this month, the Cox High School senior accepted a scholarship to Arizona State. He fell in love with the sunny, scenic campus and couldn’t wait to begin training under Sun Devils assistant coach Brian Stith — another former Cox state champion and NCAA runner-up at Arizona State.

Signing with the Sun Devils was sweet redemption, the culmination of a dream season for Edwards, who had been academically ineligible for the postseason as a junior. This year, Edwards went undefeated against in-state competition, won the 140-pound Group AAA title in February and jumped onto the recruiting radar with a series of upsets that carried him to the NHSCA senior national finals a month later.

In a stunning move described as “economic stress”, Arizona State University announced the immediate cancellation of Division 1 wrestling at the University. The amateur wrestling community quickly sprang into action, creating Save ASU Wrestling, a resource for information on how to save wrestling for the Sun Devils.

This major loss at one of the few Pac-10 schools that still participate in wrestling means Arizona natives will have much further to travel to compete at the division 1 level. It also unseats All-American Anthony Robles, his team mates, and all of their coaching staff.
