Mokoma 324 Report post Posted September 24, 2021 18 hours ago, NJDan said: Then why was he wrestling 157 as a redshirt freshman? Because he was trying to grow into it while not cutting any weight. That’s where he fit best for the team. They had the Alton’s already at 141 and 149. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only reason he ever wrestled 157 was to give the littler kids a chance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why he was still around to pin DT in the NCAA finals. 1 MSU158 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really is the Benjamin Button of wrestling. Blue light blocking shampoo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eventually he graduated (or at least ran out of eligibility). But the issue was whether DT went 157 (when some said he really could have been at 141) because PSU had no one else at 157. In fact, PSU had a future NCAA champ at 157. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
