David Taylor will officially be introduced as the new head coach of Cowboy Wrestling on Thursday.
Oklahoma State announced Wednesday that Taylor’s introductory news conference will be at 2:30 p.m. Thursday inside the Boone Pickens Stadium west end zone team room. The event will be opened to the public.
Taylor was announced as OSU’s eighth head wrestling coach late Monday night, replacing John Smith, who retired last month after leading the Cowboys for 33 years. Taylor, 33, won a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, and he was also a two-time individual NCAA champion and two-time Dan Hodge Trophy winner at Penn State. This is his first head coaching job.
For fans planning to attend the introductory news conference, parking will be available in Lots 9, 9A and 99, which can be accessed from Washington Street between the Wes Watkins Center and the Greenwood Tennis Center, next to the Sherman E. Smith Training Center. Starting at 2 p.m., fans can then cross the street and enter Boone Pickens Stadium through Gate 14 on the northwest side near the Barry Sanders statue. From there, turn right, go down the escalator, and then turn right again to find the team room. Fans exit using the same escalator and gate.
Because of prior obligations following the press conference, Taylor will not be available afterward if fans are seeking pictures or autographs.
The press conference will also be live streamed on YouTube here.
