“I’ve been down before,” he said. “I’ve been down worse and it’s just wrestling.”

Plott’s victory was the second for OSU in Sunday’s finals. Daton Fix won his fourth straight Big 12 title at 133 pounds.

“I thought for the most part in his whole tournament, there was a level of demeanor that you’ve been trying to beat into him all season long,” OSU coach John Smith said of Plott. “I thought his final match wasn’t necessarily his best match but just kinda a guy that was going to get his hand raised somehow. That’s what you like to see.”

Missouri won the team title for its second straight year while OSU finished runner-up. The Cowboys pushed through three dual losses to its podium finish at the Big 12 championships. Plott’s win helped push the Cowboys beyond its third-place spot before the finals.

“I said it all season, especially at the start that this is going to be a challenging year,” Smith said. “I’ll just say they took on the challenge. I think we have worked as hard as any team I’ve coached and they responded with not a lot of complaints and not a lot of ‘Why are we doing this?’ They just did it.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

Eubanks said OSU students and faculty stand out next to the other Fulbright applications because of its unique position as a land-grant university in America.

Randy Kluver is the associate provost of global partnerships and dean of OSU Global. He said he is proud that OSU has had more success with Fulbright this year than any other university in the state. He continued to say that it speaks well of OSU’s global reputation and the achievements of students and faculty.

“OSU Global provides the campus organizational support for student and faculty Fulbright application process,” Kluver said. “We work with students and faculty to effectively compete in this very rigorous competition.”

Fulbright alumni have become notable figures throughout history. Forty Fulbright alumni served as heads of state or government, 89 have received Pulitzer Prizes and 62 have been awarded the Nobel Prize.

“The Fulbright Award is the most recognizable distinction in international education and, as an award, is the best predictor of getting a Nobel Prize,” Kluver said. “When OSU students and faculty receive these awards, it recognizes their scholarly achievement and also raises the global profile of OSU.” news.ed@ocolly.com
