Not yet? But he obviously tries to score until the whistle.

I guess it could always change but as of now he is a very good high school wrestler and would guess a smaller college. That was a huge win but he has also lost to some kids I wouldn’t consider studs.

What about the Goff kid? Is he a room guy? Will he even end up at OSU? Just wondering if he will be into living wrestling year around? I notice he does not really wrestle except during the school year and likely doesn’t pull much weight.

Goff is a freak athlete. I could see it going two ways… he either buys in and becomes an absolute stud that surprises everyone or his attitude and ego get in the way and it doesn’t work out. There has been “rumors” of things in high school that would not set will with the OSU staff if he did that in college

I agree. It usually boils down to if the kid loves wrestling or just wrestles because they are good at it. Pulling weight and managing classes and workouts etc can overwhelm most. Particularly when you are no longer the best one. Wonder how many times he was taken down in practice or even got beat in a match?

In the last two years his only loss was last year to Correa in OT and it went to ride outs. He really could be one of the most athletic kids to ever wrestle at OSU. He just needs to buy into our coaches and check the ego

Is he a collegiate 197 or HWT? Not sure how tall he is or how much weight he cuts (if any).

I’m not sure but I bet he is 6’2” or 6’3”. I really doubt he cuts much. He has wrestled 215 the last two years in college. He’s pretty filled out already

Could be he doesn’t wrestle year round because he enjoys other sports and/or his family just doesn’t have the money to wrestle year round. Club fees, travel, tournament fees, that all adds up quick.

You don't become a 4x state champ by sitting on your butt during the off-season. Just because he isn't competing in FS doesn't mean he's not training. So unless he is on a different planet with ability I'm sure he's in the room a lot.

True to an extent. I bet if you looked at the top college wrestlers at each Weight the vast majority wrestle FS.
