Ridiculous to think we're likely going to have two of the last three number one heavyweight wrestlers on our dline.

I think with his athleticism, Garrett might break some records at Ohio State for sacks by a DT. I'm thinking a more athletic Quinn Pitcock before he's done.

Doesn't hurt and as you said, he is such a great athlete on top of having great leverage. I really think he's going to be a great one here. Also, is there any possbility Garrett could still get select to the AA game.

Garrett has stated publicly that HE WOULD NOT PARTICIPATE / ATTEND ANY POSTSEASON "ALL-AMERICAN'' GAME because of his commitment & dedication to his high school wrestling team, and out of respect of his coaches and teamates. He was invited to a All-American game in Orlando FLA which he respectfully declined while explaining his conflict with wrestling schedule. Garrett is captain & is determined to win the Class AA Team championship for the first time (as they were moved from"A" to "AA" two years ago) in school's history.

***Another possible feat for Goebel to achieve (yet not NEARLY as important to him) is he could become Illinois's High Schools record holder for "Most TOTAL career victories in 4 years of Varsity wrestling"

That's great character. Since these games (AA games) don't matter, help out all of your teammates that you wrestle with. Garrett will be a great one to watch.

WRESTLING: National acclaim at stake in Dvorak

December 21, 2007
BY SETH SCHWARTZ
The 33rd Dvorak Tournament is a chance for wrestling fans and competitors to get a midseason evaluation of which teams and individuals are at the top of their games.

Montini's Garrett Goebel (15-0, 13 pins), ranked No. 3 by Amateur Wrestling News, might be the nation's premier heavyweight. It's hard to gauge how he would stack up vs. the top five in his class who have earned college scholarships. Goebel will play football at Ohio State.

Goebel's father, Greg, the Broncos' defensive line and heavyweight coach, understood that the skills learned on the mat transfer effectively to the gridiron. He got his son wrestling at age 8.

''When Garrett said he wanted to go out for football [in junior high],'' Greg Goebel said, ''I said, 'You'll go out when you get to high school. I'll teach you everything you need to know about blocking and tackling the night before practice.'''

There's a good reason Goebel has dominated since he was a freshman 215-pounder. At Martinez Elite Kids Program, he absorbed Jose Martinez's lessons and developed an adroit, offensive style. Goebel went 55-1 last season with 34 pins en route to a state title.

''You just don't find a guy with Garrett's size [6-5, 275], speed, strength and skill,'' Montini assistant coach John Dziewiatkowski said. ''He doesn't wrestle like a heavyweight. He moves like a 171-pounder.''

Dvorak draws top out-of-state talent
Montini wrestlers aim for title repeat
December 21, 2007

"We know it's a really tough tournament," said the Broncos' defending state and Dvorak heavyweight champ, Garrett Goebel. "We're a younger team, but we've got a lot more depth. I think we're just as good as last year's team. We've just got to have a lot of younger guys step up."

looking forward

I'm looking forward to seeing Garrett Goebel in a Buckeye uniform next year. tOSU is dedicated to having the best defense in the country and Garrett is a very important part of sustaining that great tradition year-in and year-out. Great players who are quality people like Garrett makes me proud to be a Buckeye. Since Garrett committed to tOSU in the summer, I just want to give him some pub, wish him/his family a Merry Christmas, and look forward to NLOID. :wink2:

OSU fans (second to none), athletes & coaches are sincere and respectable which has impressed Garrett from the beginning. Garrett is honored & proud to be joining the "Buckeye Family" and has set high expectations for himself; Thank you for your continued support and may you have a happy, healthy holiday season.!!!

In gratitude,
The Goebel Family

Thanks XPunisher, that is the great thing about the kids JT and tOSU recruit, the would be a good addition to any team or community even without their athletic prowess. Good luck to GG and his senior grappler campaign.

Ironman, without question.

However IL "Dvorak" has been adding new teams from across the nation the past few years and is WITHOUT QUESTION Illinois' Toughest tournament each year. Reportedly this year is the most competitive in it's 33 yr. history (well, maybe with the exception of 285 lb. class)
