He came out and took control of the match. He's pretty aggressive. He's pretty good. That was impressive. |
He just loves wrestling. This loss hurts right now, but we know he's gonna have a more than bright future. |

He was like that at 14. |
He would prefer to wrestle than to not wrestle. |

When he came in as a freshman, he loved wrestling, loved competing. He began a path then. |
