Match for Match maybe Jaxon gets him a touch more right now but Burton is so promising and I like him at 74, with all those years of eligibility left. Jaxon was my most wanted (realistic) 84 target, as I've watched him live at a few duals in College Park. Unfortunately, if he wants 74 I don't see him as a fit at VT. I think he even wrestled 97 one year, maybe it was a Gabe Arnold situation where he was needed up. Disappointing but wish him well, seems like a good young man. ** Edited by VTwinsdad at 4/15/2026, 6:18:07 PM ** Edited by VTwinsdad at 4/15/2026, 6:21:56 PM

Is it a forgone conclusion that Burton bumps to 174 this year? Smith at -- goodbadugly Apr 16, 2026 at 10:56 AM ET

Burton is our 174 we passed on Smith bc he wasn't budging on the 174 thing** -- donjfs3 Apr 16, 2026 at 11:29 AM ET
