Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

Gavin Brown finished 8th
Luke Geog finished 3rd
Seth Shumate finished 4th
Rocco Welsh won
Nick Feldman won



Came across this incredible stat today at ohiowrestling.net inre: Nick Feldman at IronMan..
He and his opponents were in the neutral position for a little over 5 minutes total time during
which Feldman had 32 total takedowns and his opponents had ZERO. That's domination!

Nick Feldman at the Beast of the East championship on 12/19/21..


Wow, his style and body composition just oozes Kyle Snyder vibes. Obviously the talent at the next level will remain to be seen, but Feldman can be very, very good. Love the aggression and quick finishes from his feet. The slow, lethargic heavyweights seem to be becoming a thing of the past, which I dig.

The Powerade H.S. tournament is this weekend. Another high quality list of wrestlers with anticipated...although certainly not definite... final matchups of Rocco Welsh #2 vs. Gabe Arnold #1 at 170 and Kyle Feldman #1 vs. John Mullen #2 at Hwt. Other future Buckeyes in the tournament include Luke Geog, Nic Bouzakis, and Vinny Kilkeary.

Powerade finals are tonight with Nic Bouzakis in 126# and Kyle Feldman in HWT. Both have pretty much cruised through to the finals but at least Feldman is expected to have a battle vs. #2 seed John Mullen. Young Vince Bouzakis is also a finalist. In other matches of interest Vinny killkeary lost a 2-1 dec.as the ref called a "technical violation" on him which decided the match. Same ref also reused to award him when he body locked his opponent and threw him on his back for what should've been a 5 pt.er and ref said his opponent was out of bounds. Rocco Welsh was beaten 4-3 on a late scramble, then wrestled fellow future Buckeye Luke Geog in consos. Geog had injured his knee in his 1st match but kept competing but Walsh advanced to meet the #1 seed Arnold who had also dropped. Walsh won 4-3.

Then here's some more...Feldman won against a VERY highly regarded heavy in Mullen by a score of 12-0! The Bouzakis brothers also took the gold...with Coach Ryan watching. Welsh ended up 3rd, and I believe should've won. Also, Jesse Mendez wrestled in an Indiana tournament (strict rules in that state keep athletes from leaving the state in-season) Jesse faced 5 foes on his way to his third straight title in this particular tournament...he pinned all 5.

Echo this post, I just haven't been able to keep up this year and I love the updates. Hopefully can catch a dual in January. I have the feeling Feldman is the next big thing in Columbus from what I've seen and the absolute dominance. Got some real Kyle Snyder vibes with him.

Wrestling Bucks are finally back in action this afternoon against Sparty. Several changes in the lineup include Will Betancourt at 133, Klay Reeves at 141, and Jashon Hubbard at 157. Jayvon Foley is MSU's best wrestler which is bad news for the rookie Betancourt. Reeves replaces D'Emilio who is ill. Bucks should be favored in 7 matches with a tossup at 197. Will post the results later this evening.

Buckeyes beat the Spartans 27-14.

125... Heinselman 3 tds, Lujan 2 escapes = workmanlike 6-2 dec.
133... As I predicted in the previous post, Betancourt had a tough
night. Foley with the TF 16-0 vs. the overmatched rookie.
141... Reeves was beaten by Hamden 5-2 but showed some spunk.
Actually at times in the 3rd he looked like the better wrestler.
149... Sasso seemed a little rusty in the 1st (understandable after the one month layoff)
but ended it with his trademark cradle fall in the 3rd vs. Hamra.
157... Hubbard vs. Saldate was a good match. Hubbard had it till he tried a single leg
late and lost the 2 pts.
165... Kharchla looked rusty as well but by sheer brute force dominated by a 15-6 MD.
174... Speaking of dominant! Ethan Smith had no rust problem as he toyed with a kid
named Jiminez. 5 td in 1st, 5 tds in 2nd, and 3 more to finish the TF.
184... Romero followed Smith's lead then did him one better by getting a 2nd period fall.
197... Hoffman couldn't make weight so Jordan filled in and lost 6-2 to Caffey.
HWT... Hoffman wrestled here. I didn't hear why but the MSU opponent was also a 197. Hoff
won 10-3 maybe smoothing things with Ryan.
That's it until next weekend vs. TTUN.
