Did Jacob Murton get injured in the Eastern qualifier? I see he is not on the bracket at nationals, and it looks like he had a medical default in the consolation semis of the qualifier, but won his 5th place match. Anyone know what happened?

I was told by someone on CU's team that Murton had a back/neck injury and that he is done wrestling indefinitely. I realize that with injuries, sometimes a person can work their way back, and perhaps Murton will return. I'm just writing what I was told. He is an incredible wrestler, and I found him to be a very nice, helpful instructor for my wrestlers. I wish Jacob the best.
You might be thinking of the older Murton, Jairus. I know he had a pretty bad injury but he came back and competed some this year.. However Jacob might have gotten injured as well, I don't know.
