Voelker Verbals Buffalo

VoelkerMonroe Woodbury senior AJ Voelker has given a verbal commitment to new head coach John Stutzman to wrestle for the University at Buffalo.  Voelker first met Coach Stutzman during a visit to Bloomsburg, the school where Stutzman has coached for the past 8 seasons.  Although he liked Coach Stutzman, Voelker wasn’t sure if Bloomsburg, PA was a fit for him.  Shortly after learning that Stutzman had taken the position at Buffalo, Voelker decided to visit the MAC school to see if western NY was a potential home for the next four or five years.  One visit was all it took!  Congratulations AJ…www.sectionixwrestling.com will be following you every step of the way!
