I think wrestling wise he should be able to be ready by ACCT time, but going from wrestling highschool 175 pounders to college 184 pounders is a big jump in horse power. Would be nice to get a look at him at junior US open, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. If coaches could figure out how to get someone like Kharchla, Aeillo, Ruth or someone in to train with TJ and see if that would entice him to stay that would be nice. Even if it’s for a year for TJ to rebound and build his stock back up.

I'm of the mindset now to not worry about redshirting. Kids move in and out -- HokieToph Apr 06, 2025 at 09:40 PM ET

Or maybe Gage Wright moves to 184 and Burton at 174. -- Wilmington Hokie Apr 07, 2025 at 02:35 PM ET

Wilmington Hokie • 04/07/25 02:35 PM ET

Both guys are probably big enough for 184 eventually but best weight is 174 -- donjfs3 Apr 07, 2025 at 02:57 PM ET

donjfs3 • 04/07/25 02:57 PM ET

Well, it's a given one of them moves up.** -- hokietony Apr 07, 2025 at 03:17 PM ET

Gage looks like the perfect build for 174 -- OGHookie Apr 07, 2025 at 02:56 PM ET
