Question for the PA wrestling knowers. Anyone got a report on Kyle Scott? Flipped from Pitt to Va Tech. Went 49 and 1 during the season and only loss was 4 to 1 against Adam Waters in the state championship match
Can’t be right. Tan Tom doesn’t believe in transfers.
Good pickup with some downstream potential. If he can go 184, then at worst he'll compete with Carini for the starting job after Desiante graduates. At 197 he's definitely behind Sasso but has a chance to start after that. I think he can be a good college starter in time, but he won't keep Robie from recruiting at his weight(s).
Quentin Wright was his head coach for all 4 years of HS. It shows that they got a lot of practice time together. He's a scorer.
I wouldn't put too much stock in his HS folk results, very weak schedule being at a rural AA school that doesn't get invited to even 2nd tier tourneys. If PA were a single class state, he'd be in the 3-6 range behind Waters and Hutcherson, lumped in with Sumpolec (George Mason), Zuercher (Cornell), and Snyder (2027 Pitt).
He was 5th last year at U17 Trials in both freestyle and Greco -- that's a better indicator than his HS folk results. IIRC he plans to compete at NHSCA Duals this weekend and possibly at Fargo this summer.
Side note: Pitt's 2026 class has now lost Scott, Karson Brown, and Elijah Brown. Oof.
Quality high-character kid, not very tall but very strong including tree trunks for legs. Able to stonewall just about everybody but always looking for offense.
Lane Foard (174) transfer from Wyoming. He redshirted this past year. Posting it because he wrestled with my sons at Benedictine College Prep. Great kid, three time state champ, National Prep Champion, 2nd at Ironman. Was 4th at soldier salute this past year . Got in one dual but wrestled up two weight classes at 197 and lost 9-4 to No. 15 Rune Lawrence at West Virginia
ya live in the Richmond area? We must know a lot of the same folks if you do...
Yep, Rockville, have one son at Benedictine. He'll be a jr next year. They are loaded and would bet they repeat as State Champions. I would not be surprised if his class threepeats.
Collegiate and St Chris are usually competing. Unfortunately, Collegiate has been in the running for a long while
That’s a blow for Wyoming. He was 5th at the US open U20’s. He had a really good tournament going 6-2. I thought he would slide in nice at 174 for Wyoming with Neitenbach, Novak, and Carroll at 184, 197, and heavy. That would’ve been a solid upper weights. Manny Rojas transferred in so maybe he can go 174 but I thought he would be a 165

They are adding talent, but they aren't going to have 4 in the finals and score 130 plus points anytime soon. It would be a good thing if they did, it just isn't going to be a thing at all. They have some more climbing to become a version of the 1980s to 1990s Nittany Lions. A perennial top 5 team with some champs here and there.
And Nadav Nafshi from PA then LHP (Nat Prep Champ this year) who flipped to UNC
