Bio
2024-25: FRESHMAN - Match List
"Silas was our latest commitment from Wisconsin. He is club teammates with Charlie Millard and Wyatt Duchateau, as well as current Gopher Ethan Riddle. He is tough on top and has an incredible grip. Silas comes from a tight-knit family and we are excited that he'll be able to add to our family atmosphere here in Minnesota. We anticipate him to come in and develop his already great skills. With the coaching and training partners he'll be surrounded with, you're going to see Silas do big things throughout his time here. We are thankful he is a Gopher."
