peanut Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 In the past, Nick Amushastegui, 3x AA, had a high GPA from Stanford in mechanical engineering. Eric Tannenbaum, 4xAA out of Michigan, was obviously doing something right because he's now an orthopedic surgeon. Are any current college wrestlers excelling on both the mat and the classroom? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for last year's group, Kizhan Clarke was a law student at UNC when he placed second overall. And then was memorably offered a job by Nick Lee's dad 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threadkilla Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Austin Gomez graduated from ISU in 2021 is working towards his masters in business and education administration and I believe he has another year of eligibility next year to work on a PHD.

Mr. PeanutButter Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I once caught the #1 wrestler on his back, briefly, while maintaining a 4.0 gpa. Man, that was exhausting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHROMEBIRD Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 If my memory is right, Adam Coon was a grad student in Aerospace Engineering. The announcers used to joke that he was trying to design a space vehicle that he could fit into so he could be an astronaut. I believe Mason Parris is also an Engineering major. Not exactly a walk in the park at a place like Michigan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
