Rex Holt has been broadcasting Oklahoma State wrestling since 1978. He became the "Voice of the Cowboys" in 1979 and served in the role for 18 seasons until a change in station ownership. He returned to the microphone for OSU Wrestling in 2004 and will celebrate his 31st season in 2016-17. While a sophomore at OSU, he began working as a sportswriter for the Stillwater News Press in 1975. He became the wrestling writer in 1976 and covered his first NCAA tournament in 1977. Holt worked at the News Press until 1997 and wrote thousands of wrestling match and feature stories about OSU, Stillwater High School, Perry High School, Pawnee High School, Morrison High School and Cushing High School. He moved to Guthrie as a sophomore in 1971 and took advantage of the opportunity to wrestle. Despite a late start in the sport, he wrestled for two years and placed fourth at the Carl Albert Invitational. Holt has also been the "Voice of Cowboy Baseball" for 34 years and broadcasts Stillwater High School football and wrestling, too. For the past 26 years, Holt has hosted "Game Day Live at Joe's" before and after OSU wrestling matches, football games and basketball games, and he also hosts "The Game," a daily sports talk show on KSPI-AM in Stillwater. For his years of service to wrestling, the Oklahoma Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame honors Rex Holt with its 2016 Lifetime Service to Wrestling Award.
