I love these behind the scenes stories.

[@johnlozauskas778]

Me too. Even though I did not wrestle, waaaaaay too much work, I graduated from the u of iowa which was the greatest wrestling school of all time.

[@sshady7272]

You and Bo are my favorite PSU wrestlers. Always working for the pin! Best of luck in the future...

Zain is one amazing wrestler, his relentless on the mat was insane, he is one of the best overall wrestlers I've ever seen, he's there to wrestle he doesn't back up he doesn't stop wrestling after he's up by 1 point he is what every wrestler should strive to be like on the mat,.mind u I was a Iowa fan and could not stand him because he was always putting a butt whopping on iowa wrestlers but at the end of the day he's awesome

his bow and arrow was deadly

Begs the question…
What was the offer and what makes orders different?
😂

[@davemiller9570]

D1 teams only have 9.9 scholarships so partials are typical

[@pghend]

A good question would have been what was the offer?

[@pauldarling330]

Generally speaking 5 year full ride for a top recruit.

[@jennyshuz]

I was thinking that throughout the entire interview. What was the opening offer that you didn’t like and then what was the offer that made you choose Penn State? It shouldn’t be any great mystery at this point. Was it a full ride or something just shy of that?

[@paulwall5706]

Great ytube channel 💪💪

[@williambateman6564]

The only two time hodge winner to have absolutely nobody good in his weight classes when he won them. Everybody forgets he placed fifth in a weight class that actually had talent in it.

[@stephenceremuga6490]

This literally hurt my brain, i hope youre joking.

[@lexingtonconcord8751]

William Bateman 👈🏻 Ridiculous take

[@vandykeshouseofsmoke8382]

Gomer

[@Tdinh79]

He was so dominating, he made everyone not look good you mean. 🤔😅

[@GoodOlFaithful]

You’re hilarious
