Excellent pickup. Hopefully he can hold 125. Sounds like Cael had this one in the bag fairly easily.

So excited for Landon, my wife teaches in the district, he’s been telling her he was going to wrestle at Penn State since he was in 7th grade. Always been a very nice kid when we’ve run into him, picture his coach tweeted says it all

My lord he looks younger than Braeden Davis did as a Freshman!

I had Cael’s pink slip email in my queue until this news came in. I’ll put in back in my drafts folder in case he starts half-stepping again.

He is thick already but he is short. Career 25 seems more likely than 33
He discussed that idea with me this summer:

“If you see me in person, I’m not a big guy,” Sidun told BWI this summer. “I’ve been wrestling around the same weight for a while. My family, everyone’s small. I’m bigger than my mom, I’m close to my dad’s size, so I’d say I’m almost maxed out. I see myself as a ’25 pounder, but I would never say to someone like, ‘Hey, I’m going to be a four-year 25. But I would never see myself wrestling above 33. But, to me, there’s a good chance I’m gonna be a four-year 25.”

Good catch. It wasn't a hand injury. If I'm not mistaken, it was a knee injury.
I'm not familiar with a knee injury for him. Not saying it isn't the case but when I talked to him in August and asked about his health situation he said the following:

“Health-wise, I couldn’t be any better,” Sidun said. “No setbacks with my hand at all. Training this summer has been the best it’s ever been. I’ve been wrestling a lot of higher-level competition and getting a lot of work in the summer.”
