Certainly not as learned as most, but would seem to be easier to go up a level, than go down a weight class. Even in a weight class, this is the time of life when a body grows, gains size/weight etc naturally. Certainly as one does weight training, pounds are added, and if memory serves, adding a pound of muscle requires losing, what, eight pounds of fat? Am sure others have better numbs, but can only lose so many pounds of fat, no?

It definitely is easier to go up and wrestling closer to your natural weight is trending in a good way. Unfortunately sometimes the cut is necessary when roster openings dictate it. I had to cut a lot until my senior year because I had a roster of future All Americans to beat out for a starting spot. But my senior year I wrestled 152 and was destroying kids because of all the energy and strength I had.

Jaxon Smith, an All-American wrestler who competed at Maryland, will finish his college career at Ohio State. On Monday, Smith announced that he has committed to the Buckeyes after entering the transfer portal.

“Thank you to everyone that has played a part in my journey so far,” Smith wrote in an Instagram post. “I’m excited for the future, and the pursuit continues.”



Smith has compiled a 91-12 record in his career and is a three-time NCAA qualifier. In 2025, Smith was named an All-American after finishing in sixth place at 184 pounds in the NCAA Tournament.

In January, Smith announced he would take a medical redshirt after suffering an ankle injury. “After a lot of thought, prayer and conversations with my coaches and medical team, I’ve decided to take a medical redshirt this season due to an ankle injury,” Smith wrote. “While this isn’t the season I envisioned for myself, my priority is getting back fully healthy so I can come back stronger for the 2026-27 season. I’m grateful for all of the support from my teammates, coaches, family and everyone who continues to believe in me. I’m excited for what’s to come.”

“Jaxon Smith has been the face of our program since summer of ’22,” Maryland coach Alex Clemsen said. “Losing him this year has been less than ideal. Seeing him struggle and work to try to get back for a title run, and to continue to lead this team, has been very impressive. At some point, though, it is not what is best for both his short-term and long-term health.”

Smith announced he would enter the transfer portal earlier this cycle. It was expected that he would return to Maryland for his final season, according to Clemsen.

“We appreciate everyone who has poured into Jaxon’s treatment and reached out with support,” he. “Having Jaxon back next year makes the future even brighter, and we cannot wait to see him be himself, doing what he loves, the way he is truly capable.”
