Right now Burton looks to clearly be the top guy at 165.

I'd love to learn the thought process around his redshirt decision. When you're going to redshirt Henson to line up things for next year I think everything is on the table. Biggest upside for wrestling Burton as a true freshman is getting him invaluable experience at NCAAs. I could see a crazy scenario where Ethen Miller takes a medical this year, Melvin Miller reclassifies, and Burton redshirts next season. That's kind of what Penn State is doing with PJ Duke to get the line up right

Hokiemacho • 11/25/25 01:01 PM ET
I don't think Burton RS's
donjfs3 • 11/25/25 01:41 PM ET
Would you let Seidel wrestle off for the spot?**
Hokiemacho • 11/25/25 06:55 PM ET
Yes - either 133 or 141 unless he’s clearly not there **
donjfs3 • 11/25/25 10:45 PM ET
Those guys are really good.
HOKIE MAGIC • 11/24/25 12:53 PM ET
Noah was fairly ranked when we was like a sophomore
donjfs3 • 11/24/25 03:25 PM ET
He was well behind Gaj coming out of their junior year imo
Hikinghokie • 11/24/25 09:40 PM ET
Facts. He beat Zepada and he has a couple slick takedowns on Bo
La Gargola • 11/24/25 05:37 PM ET
NN and Burton. Would like to see Church cut to 157 and have Gaj RS.
VTDante • 11/24/25 10:55 AM ET
I’m not sure his ceiling is higher
Fstalker • 11/24/25 01:04 PM ET
Noah's dangerous on the mat. I think he'll have a great year at 149
donjfs3 • 11/24/25 03:30 PM ET
Agree... Bo, Caleb, Collin, Ryan in the middle next year?**
Palmetto Hokie • 11/24/25 03:55 PM ET
Yep. Use next year to RS Noah and figure out a weight for him?
donjfs3 • 11/24/25 06:29 PM ET
Uh - you’ve got Melvin in there at 165 (or 174)…**
133966Hokie • 11/24/25 10:35 PM ET
You're right. I'm not used to two phenoms.
donjfs3 • 11/25/25 08:22 AM ET
I think Melvin and Burton end up 165/174
Hikinghokie • 11/25/25 09:38 AM ET
Seems like DC-Seidel would be reversed? DC looks longer with bigger frame**
Palmetto Hokie • 11/25/25 08:49 AM ET
I could see DC getting up to 141 but he looks great and quick at 133
donjfs3 • 11/25/25 01:43 PM ET
And where does Groman fit in? He's looking good too**
Palmetto Hokie • 11/25/25 08:51 AM ET
Potentially 141
Hikinghokie • 11/25/25 09:44 AM ET
I suppose no chance that Siedel could get down to 125 for a year?
goodbadugly • 11/25/25 10:25 AM ET
If Siedel is a big 133, I do like the idea of him going up and challenging
goodbadugly • 11/25/25 10:29 AM ET
I still wouldn't rule out Seidel beating Campbell
Hikinghokie • 11/25/25 10:47 AM ET
I like Crook but one of those guys should give him a shot
donjfs3 • 11/25/25 01:45 PM ET
Not next year.**
hokietony • 11/24/25 11:19 PM ET
I know he says by 28/29. Melvin will be here then.**
133966Hokie • 11/25/25 12:51 AM ET
It's going to be tough to figure out weights
Hikinghokie • 11/24/25 09:49 PM ET
I'm bullish on Seidel and one possibility is have him go 141 this year
donjfs3 • 11/25/25 08:23 AM ET
That would be ideal
Hikinghokie • 11/25/25 09:47 AM ET
imho.. we work around Caleb at 149, it's his team and we owe him a natty...
Hokiesplatz • 11/24/25 11:44 PM ET
I agree. Owe Henson a Natty**
Smoky Mtn Hokie • 11/25/25 07:46 AM ET
As long as Miller is back, Gaj will likely RS.**
hokietony • 11/24/25 11:56 AM ET
My guess would be NN and Burton start most matches. Miller if healthy. **
