"It is great to add DJ to the group of four student-athletes we already having going to the NCAA Championships and we look forward to competing on the big stage next week," said head coach Troy Steiner.
Lloren finished the regular season with a 22-7 overall record posting an 11-4 mark in dual meets. He tallied one fall, four technical falls, three major decisions and 13 decisions to go along with a forfeit.
Lloren has a 4-6 mark against 10 wrestlers in the field at 141 pounds with wins over Dylan Duncan of Illinois, Sa'Derian Perry of Old Dominion, Matt Kazimir of Columbia and Grant Willits of Oregon State. Only one of his seven losses came to a wrestler not competing in the NCAA Championships.
