Excelling on both the mat and the classroom?

[peanut]

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?

Apparently, Mike Carr is in med school while also wrestling.

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

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.

I believe Patrick Glory is in the Econ program at Princeton.  Not too shabby

I once caught the #1 wrestler on his back, briefly, while maintaining a 4.0 gpa. Man, that was exhausting.

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.

Rice would be another nice addition to wrestling.

I would think there are a lot of good students at the Service Academies.  They don't accept dummies.

I was going to mention Clayton Ream.  He earned a lot of ink for his academic work.

[Formally140]

@Jason Bryant can we get the academic all American list? Or does it come out after the season?

One of the best to come out of Mo. Awesome family as well. Wentzville(holt) I’m sure is proud.

Patrick Brucki was also a Big 10 Distinguished Scholar as an engineering graduate student.
