Welcome, Connor!

Will try to get an interview with him soon to learn more.

I was hoping we would get him. Good pace, scores a lot. Has beaten a number of PA state placers over the years, most notably AAA champ Briar Priest (who wrestled at Dapper Dan and will start at Pitt).

Last year he entered Fargo (FS and GR) and Super 32. Winning record in each but also DNP.

Our expectation should be high-end depth and spot starter at PSU, who would likely start at other D1 programs. Projects as someone who can beat NCAA qualifiers, but might struggle to qualify out of a rugged Big Ten. But let's see how he develops.

That was my thought as well RE: your last paragraph. Do love the way he wrestles though. Lots of action.
