Oklahoma State’s John Smith announced on Wednesday at former NCAA individual National Champion at 197-pounds A.J. Ferrari is no longer with the Cowboy Wrestling program.

The news came a few hours before the Stillwater Police Department announced its Criminal Investigations Department is investigating a report of sexual assault that was made against Ferrari, following a protective order that was filed against Ferrari on July 5. 

He was never made available to the media at any event Oklahoma State athletics media relations put on, only at events put on by the Big 12 or the NCAA.

This has been a long time in coming. Ferrari and his extra vivacious personality has been hard for Smith and the staff to handle. Ferrari went to extremes with his own persona in the public, which is why he’ll make a great professional wrestler someday.
