Sorry wasn't for me no idea why. . .


The other big news coming out of the summer beyond Knox’s work is redshirt freshman Jordan Chapman’s plan to move up to 184 pounds this year.

Yes. The article says that Chapman will move up to 184 and compete with SCW for the spot and that Ford will likely be the 174 pounder. Goodale also said that Chapman could eventually move up to 197.

Wouldn't shock me if hes a 197 soon . Didn't he miss weight at 86kg (189) in Vegas in April?

If he has the strength to match, he’ll be freakishly fast for a 197

How is he putting all the weight on, is he going to the all you can eat Buffett every day

Public school wrestler, never looked like he was a huge weight room guy in high school. Definitely has runway to get stronger.

Not hard to bulk up when you’re a high school senior at a public school and then go to a D1 strength training program

If you’ve seen Jordan up close through the years he’s physically a very solid individual with the frame to get big.

Tbh unless Chapman has a realistic chance of winning the spot from SCW/Cotton it’s probably better he’s a Swiss Army knife type and can go either weight in case inj/or someone need matches off..

Kinda like how Cochran was able to go 197/hwt for PSU.. or how Arnold was able to cover 174-197 before he was named the 197 Iowa starter.

Willie Scott did that for us years ago
