Weight Cut

It's a long folk season for the smaller guys cutting weight. I don't doubt that Seidel is probably walking around 140+ in the offseason. If the cut was a problem, it would have shown up at the tourney where he looked the biggest. He looked strong across both days with plenty of gas. I think the plan is to continue to keep him at 133 for another season and then allow him to bump up after Caleb graduates where we have more flexibility in the middle weights. I haven't heard anything about us bringing in a 133. I'm also curious to what the word is on Campbell's injury. I thought it was lower body injury but I saw mention of a neck brace. Can anyone shed some additional light on this?

Thompson appears to be the target for 184

Is Bullock done with wrestling?**

No clue**

We'll end up with a 184 to compete for the spot but Serge may win it
donjfs3 • 04/04/26 10:06 AM ET
Agree. Question

I think you're on to something
donjfs3 • 04/05/26 07:15 AM ET
Your concern is that Seidel can't get back down to 133 or something else?
goodbadugly • 04/04/26 11:03 AM ET
It's weight - he's a big 133 and cut a decent amount this past year **
donjfs3 • 04/04/26 01:35 PM ET
It didn’t hurt him to cut
texashokie1 • 04/04/26 06:15 PM ET
He did grow throughout the year
donjfs3 • 04/05/26 07:18 AM ET
I remember when people thought he would be a small career 125. **
TartanHokie • 04/05/26 11:01 AM ET
I don't get it.
Hokie Flyer • 04/05/26 06:59 PM ET
Seidel was always big, never looked like a career 133 with his length
donjfs3 • 04/05/26 07:37 PM ET
I will be very surprised if Seidel is not wrestling at 133 for Tech
dallasvt • 04/05/26 07:37 PM ET
What about Campbell?**
UpperQuad • 04/04/26 01:17 PM ET
A few posters have expressed concern
Hikinghokie • 04/04/26 01:34 PM ET
I seen him and Henson side by side.
emhokie • 04/04/26 11:21 AM ET
Well Bo is going to be 41
La Gargola • 04/04/26 01:59 PM ET
Unless he redshirts, which I hope doesn’t happen **
emhokie • 04/04/26 02:35 PM ET
I don’t think he will have an issue making 133 **
texashokie1 • 04/04/26 06:29 PM ET
His ability to go 133 for another year is a real concern at this point
donjfs3 • 04/04/26 02:04 PM ET
Random thought but could seidel make 149 and be a full size? jw
njhokie4 • 04/06/26 12:54 PM ET
I'd assume he's closer to 133 than 149 but no clue maybe he keeps growing**
donjfs3 • 04/06/26 02:05 PM ET
That makes sense
emhokie • 04/04/26 03:14 PM ET
Or someone moves up**
La Gargola • 04/04/26 02:28 PM ET
He's definitely big

It was a neck injury that required surgery
