Carson Manville

Looking thick at 170 at S32.

Someone re-educate me on him.

I remember him winning GFC and pretty much everything he entered while in middle school(against high school kids) as well as his frosh and soph years.

What happened to him last year, though?

I believe he had a serious medical condition. He missed a significant amount of time while battling it. I read that he gained a lot of weight during his layoff.

I'm pretty sure he had compartment syndrome and almost lost his arm. Total freak injury. He was off the mat for a very long time and is working his way back. Making the semis at super 32 is a pretty impressive jump from what he was able to do last year when he first came back.

Compartment syndrome is serious business.  My son had that in both arms.

I've heard the Manville family has moved to State College, presumably to get instate tuition at PSU, so he's probably a lock there. Would have been a pretty good under the radar kid to take a flyer on. He probably wouldn't demand much money right now, and if he regains form he's one of the best in the country.

Last year as a junior he was 26-1 at 160 and won a high school state title. I think it was the year before (sophomore year) that he missed almost the entire season.

And I think he started the year much heavier. He wrestled 182 at Super 32 and looked very out of shape and only won a couple matches. He looked much better this year, though he's definitely not all the way back.
