Honestly don't know what to say. Flawless in every position. Kid chain wrestles cleaner than anything I've ever seen and his tilts are perfect.
I think the U.S. is in a position to dominate at the World stage for years the way our young up and comers are developing. It’s almost a sure thing our top college studs are going to win World and Olympic titles. We thought we had chances back in the day after Smith, Brands, Cross, with a handful of wrestlers (Kolat, Williams, McIlravy, Abas,etc) to win a few, but now we are right up there and surpassing Russia in the long game of talent.
Yep and the best part is our style of wrestling is harder and you have to be in better shape to do it. Which is probably the only reason we’ve ever been competing in freestyle internationally
@@pookiesfriendrayray7086 The bad side of doing folkstyle from an early age is sometimes these guys don't know how to adapt to certain scramble and scenarios which cost them. I came from freestyle for two years and got third in state my first year wrestling folkstyle, but it definitely helps with conditioning and mental toughness
I see little upside to folkstyle as opposed to starting with freestyle. A very different skill set
We will never be dominate until we change completely over to freestyle. The whole rest of the world is wrestling freestyle and we’re producing folkstyle wrestlers.
If they ever let Russia wrestle if there not competing can't really claim such a claim currently Russia beats us head to head
Wow is all I can say - old timer - retired from coaching after many years - this kid is very special - reminds me of Wade Schalles - his dump is nearly perfected - and his constantly driving feet make up for any defense of the dump - runs legs like a champ and always looking for a bar, cross wrist or cradle, legs to a ball and chain - such a multiple threat - he thrives on chaos - but there is very little chaos going on for him in getting into his positions - a perfected dump is almost impossible to stop - when he clamps on your arm, you have to get a hand on his hip to block - it is the only way to stop it - then you have to break away while keeping him from getting his hips underneath you - once he does that he has you…every time
He will continue to be very exciting to watch - the issue now will be can he avoid serious injuries while climbing the ladder?
Wow-- Jax could win a Gold Medal if he keeps working hard. Congrats.
he already got silver i’m sure he could get gold this year if not next
too early to tell, but he does look pretty damn good
@@ryan80166 they have JR Olympics. Spencer lee was 3 or 2 time gold. I know he was hurt that’s why can’t remember if a 3 time or 2 time but know it wasn’t 4 cuz hurt his senior year
@@ryan80166 he wrestled at a tournament i wrestled at and put a take down clinic on the 7th in the state
This kid is the most talented wrestling prospect I have ever seen. I think he holds more potential than Spencer Lee, Yianni Diakomihalis, or Keegan O'Toole. This could looks like he could qualify for NCAA's already. That was unreal.
Incredible! Just gotta stay motivated for the next 8 years!
It is important to start kids early and then get talented HS kids into national and international tournaments. I am glad to see a gifted young wrestler try to find the best opponents out there. I hope Jax can get some world team experience early. Good luck!
I looked at the accolades of the guys he beat thinking they just weren't solid wrestlers but to my surprise they were elite at some point. This is probably the most impressive thing I've seen in our beloved sport.
Thought the same thing - McCrone was 15-5 before this match
This kid looks like a sure fire 4-timer. Looks like he could be the second coming of Cael himself.
@@thechessmartialist840 let's hope he chooses PSU. He probably projects as a 65 lber.
@@DB-115 I bet he does! Where else do you go as a 65er with that much talent? You go with Cael. I feel like this kid could make the podium at NCAA's already at 125. He might even be able to take 2nd to Spencer Lee already. The greatest prospect ever seen to date.
I did the same
That tilt game is filthy 👌🏼. Jax is special already and I can’t wait to see him get better. 2 Nattys at least. Book it 🙏🏼
4 easy
Look where we are now with Jax in the Olympci trials. He uses his leverage so well.
That slide by. Omfg. What a hammer
Reminds me of Aaron Pico! Hopefully he makes the long run to Olympic Gold!
pico was a phenom
This kid is going to be a stud in the NCAA
Wow! This kid is so impressive! The things he will do if he can stay motivated and avoid injury. I hope he stays focused and continues to enjoy the journey! Skies the limit for this young man!
Reminds me of Bo Nickle during his senior year. Jax, the sky is the limit!
Jax got him good at 4:59. Looking forward to seeing Jax's bright future over the next decade or so.
Relentless. Carrying Machine!!
Kid's a machine.
Crazy he placed 2nd at Ironman nearly 2 months ago. Lost the finals match in OT. He's come far since & probably wrestling at his natural weight. Future his bright.
This kids a high school freshman. This video was him wrestling college guys? He makes it look easy.
American Wrestling at its best. Excellent leg and arm control. He's always on one or the other and many times both. Knows how to keep his weight on his opponent and digs his toes in the mat. The way he gets behind the leg to raise it on the standing cradle is brilliant. Again, using his weight and body to apply pressure or to contort his opponent. At 2:48 he does a nice slip into a standing head and arm. But it's not just the slip. Look at the positioning of his feet and hips. His hips are always where they need to be. Tournaments are tough too cause guys will study you throughout the day. So if you stick to 3 or 4 tricks they'll usually get your number by the semi finals. But this kid doesn't have tricks or even a style to defend. He's just doing all the basics but doing them all 100% correct. I would like to see more of him having to defend, to see how he is under that pressure. The few times he did here it seemed more like counters. Which is what you should do. Defending allows your opponent to try again. Countering an attack correctly puts you at an advantage. But when someone is better than you, all you can do is defend. Congrats to this young man.
Both guys pinned themselves in the first match.
That kid is an absolute beast!!
Tilt game on point.
Breathtaking💕,Magnificent👍,Outstanding💗
Wow man. Just wow.
All the other high schoolers watching this video and are thinking.... Sh!T
Agility and strength here are tremendous! However, the tactics are still loosely applied. Very nice work, and the coaches deserve praise as well. Kudos!
What a beast
3:34 ball and chain from quadpod
Moral of the story. Start your kids young with wrestling! It’s so good for kids to do.
My son is 6 & is in his 2nd year & loves it.
Rolled with kid at combat athletics crazy good
Magic man vibes
beast
WOW!
Unreal. I had to make sure I was not playing fast forward
Why’d it cut at 2:33?
Standing Peterson FTW
That was something !
Yea , I had to rewind that a couple of times to see how he got that
Plot twist - Everyone competing in the tournament was in elementary school.
Can't do PIAA you say?...okay I'll win the Edinboro open. Jaxs a savage. Him and basset could be future 4 time NCAA champs...to start.
Did they not let him do Piaa?
@@smeeks247 the PIAA gave his school the death penalty
That’s a pretty big hs freshman. Is he going into his sophomore year?
Much like Buvaisar Saitiev
Second coming of Spencer Lee ? Tilt city!
Kyle Junior:)
He pinned himself multiple times in that first match. That’s one thing to improve on as he gets older
I was wondering if I was the only one who saw it.
@@gottagetbackintime.2124 I’ve seen it in a couple videos of him wrestling. It almost makes me wander if the self pin rules have been changed recently, but to the best of my knowledge they haven’t and he’s just gotten lucky that the refs aren’t seeing it.
He looks really good with the potential to be great he needs to learn to wrestle under control he almost pinned himself a few times.
while he seems to have a huge arsenal, he needs to reel it in refine his core stuff.
he definitely has the tools but it’s going to take a great coach to keep him humble and build on what he has going
💯
Tried the spaddle many times, not sure why he kept releasing the leg he had in. If he keeps his leg ride he likely would've pinned two of those guys and prevented all that flailing they were doing when he transitioned to a tilt. Bright future either way, the competition seemed a bit sub par though considering some of those "throws" he was able to do. Specifically the second match I believe where they were both standing upright and he just fell back with the guy. Don't know many high caliber wrestlers that would allow that to happen.
I’ll tell you why - the spladle can take a lot of work and he is not facing schmucks even though he is dominating them - he is using legs and then getting ball and chain tilt off legs (something I did as a legs kid 50 years ago). Yes a lot of flailing, but frankly a very easy 2 points to be had - its a cheap tilt and old school, but it is easy to get from legs and he only wants the quick points before he transitions - low tech easy points if you will.
Keep in mind he has a loss this season in high school.
Man is obviously a beast, but kinda misleading calling him a freshman when he’s 16. When I was 16 I was a junior/senior, and the man isn’t gonna start college till hes 20/21. Once he gets to college though, he’s gonna dominate for sure
I was 16 as a freshman graduated at 19 and was 20 during the second semester of my freshman year
Freshman’s are not 16 unless you were held back or failed!
@@PrymeTymeK9s it’s not uncommon for people to repeat a grade especially before HS for whatever the reason maybe. it’s not like he’s getting 5 years of HS eligibility. I wouldn’t be surprised to see more kids being 16 during their freshman year especially with so many kids who struggled with school during covid and not being in a traditional classroom
For those wondering why he's a year old for 9th: parents had him and some of his 6 siblings repeat a grade in NC after the shitshow of "remote learning" back in early Covid
@@PrymeTymeK9s correct I was 12 years old as a HS freshman. As a senior I was 16 going on 17
In his bag
17 year old freshman. Still impressive
I keep hearing this but how? How many grey shirts did he take in middle school?
He turned 16 in October
Grey shirt lol
Poor kid in the opening match--like facing a boa constrictor.
He’s also old
Are these community colleges and trade schools or something
How old is this kid? HS freshman in age too?
i believe he got held back 2 times. either way very impressive
@@agoodr106 LMAO
He can drive to school and he has 1 loss in high school against a sophomore from Wyoming seminary
Has to be at least 17 years old to drive by yourself in PA. Your typical HS Freshman is 14.
@@James-wv3pl Luke is a junior at Sem. Jax is 2-1 against him since Sept 2022.
D3 college ?
It’s an open tournament. So D1,D2,and D3
They should show the match where he lost to the kid from seminary this year. He is unbelievably good, but he's also 16 and a freshman which makes no sense and his family is chasing glory with him. Moved from like north Carolina to pa for hs wrestling and where he transferred to they r barred from wrestling in the piaa for 3 years so he can't win a state title for 2 more years. He probably will transfer to faith christian academy after this year, they love Jesus so they r allowed to recruit
Thought they were given a 2 year ban that ends after this year.
@@rrt5000 I thought it was a 3 year ban but you may be right.
Beast!
Invest in the Forrest. Real deal...
🌲🌲🌲👀🌲🌲
For those wondering why he's a year old for
9th: parents had him and some of his 6
siblings repeat a grade in NC after the
shitshow of "remote learning" back in early Covid
How old is he?
16.
Took silver in worlds for U17 in a crazy final. 11-10 maybe
You mean 3rd string college athletes...this kid is average.
Is this another 16 yo freshman?
Yes
Yep
Do their parent’s intentionally make them repeat a grade or did they actually fail? I’m so lost
Had to watch without sound. Music so annoying.
He spanked em all... Spanked em... Rode em like some females.... SPanked Em... lmao
Here we go again on the road
Here we go again

average Ohio wrestling tournament
I dare you I bought something today Spencer money yearly money not like 120 bucks now I watch everything on my TV through UA-cam some stuff on UA-cam like wrestling
Bruh he is in a Junior World Team singlet no? This kid is MILES beyond these Div 3 college guys.
There d 1 two guys repping Ohio state and Michigan state kid too
ohio state guy in the finals was 15-5 before this match, they're definitely not scrubs
Not impressed. The guys were average at best. Please. Put him in with Spencer and see what happens. Hype train.
Ah yes to impress someone you have to beat the number 1 DI collegiate wrestler that’s about twice his age 😂. Bro is a hs freshmen how aren’t you impressed
@@clovernotatroll2302 fr
@clovernotatroll2302 right. A lot of future d1 all-Americans wouldn't have been able to handle 2nd year d3 wrestlers when they were freshman in high school. This dude beating 2nd year D1 guys in 9th grade. Insane.
Spencer lee is balding and 30 years old. He has been put on his back this year and in a few other matches was dangerously close to being put on his back. Hes not 100% and im telling u now hes going to be stunned at the national championships. Back to back big tourneys are too much for him. Hes probably put more ware and tare on himself than any other wrestler
