As we are entering into a new era, it made me think about different wrestlers on the roster, specifically Bailey.

He hasn’t taken a redshirt yet, so this makes me to believe that he will have 2 years left if he opts into the new rules. Do you guys think he will take the 2 extra years? Or he is tapped out after this year, especially with how bad his hands and wrist are.

Good question. Who in our 2027 class would be competing with him for a spot, probably at 141.

Borge, Regan, or Youngblut
I fee like Borge will be at 149. It will be interesting to see where Youngblut and Regan stack up against Bailey his Senior year, I hope they shock us.

Eventually Freddy will be battling it out with those guys at 141.

Isn’t Youngblut pretty big for 141 in college also?

You think it is just his choice?
