Two-time world champ and Rio Olympic bronze medalist J'den Cox is joining the NJ-RTC. The Mizzou grad will split time between New Jersey and the Olympic & Paralympic Training Center in Colorado where has been training full time.

The announcement was made Friday afternoon via NJ-RTC's social channels.

J'den subsequently announced on his social media that he was pumped about joining the team.

NJ-RTC head coach Reece Humphrey is no doubt equally pumped about bringing a wrestler of the caliber of J'den into the room. J'den will presumably be an ideal workout partner for Nate Jackson, who recently bumped up to 92kg and promptly won a Senior Nationals title. 

J'den plans to stay down at 92kg through the 2021 World Championships in Oslo, Norway and then move up to 97kg. 

No word yet on if J'den plans to also develop his breakdancing skills while in New Jersey but if he were to he'd probably have some pretty sick moves in very little time.
