āFirst, I would like to thank the University of Minnesota for their time, their effort and their persistence with me to push me to the man I am today,ā Steveson said. āMinnesota has given me everything, and now itās my turn to give it right back to them: to put my feet back on the wrestling mat, to be the champ, one more time.ā
