NJDan 407 Report post Posted February 9 News is that Kurt McHenry is graduating high school early, ending his HS career and enrolling early at Michigan. The plan is to add weight and strength. Obviously he is a great wrestler, but what is the history of 113 pounders when they get to college? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nahshon Garrett won the CA state and National (?) titles at 112 as a senior. Went 3-2-5-1 in college, so that worked out pretty well. 1 Nicky_Pipes reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJDan 407 Report post Posted February 9 Yes, I am familiar with Garrett, who wound up as high as 133. But are there others? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KCMO2 530 Report post Posted February 9 (edited) Have to believe he'll redshirt next season behind Mattin, who has a decent shot to AA this year.. That'll give him a year and a half to grow into 125.

Konquest 62 Report post Posted February 9 The current undefeated #1 at 125, Sebastian Rivera, was one of those guys. Hell, there was talk that Spencer Lee would also be undersized... 1 Nicky_Pipes reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KTG119 777 Report post Posted February 9 here are a few guys that wrestled 112 or 113 in the Dapper Dan/Pittsburg wrestling classic and went on to D1 success. (I don't know if that means they actually wrestled that weight their whole senior year or maybe dropped for the event?) Lizak, Conaway, Hazewinkle, Ott. Wasn't Robles 112 as a senior? Going back Jim Martin was 105 as a senior, and placed 4th and 2nd at 118, then champ and 3rd at 126. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michigan wrestling 15 Report post Posted February 11 I think the bigger question when it comes to being to small for 125, is how tall they are. How tall is McHenry? If he has the height, the weight will come. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
