Article on Stanford "long-shot" commit for 2023

[Thumper]

Great name for a wrestler, that being Thor Michaelson, of Bremerton,WA.  He apparently committed to Stanford last year as this article is dated from Nov. 1, 2022, and he was already committed then.  But I've seen nothing about him on the WrestleStat recruiting list or on Intermat, etc.

Michaelson won the Washington 2-A State championship at 170 lbs with two wins by Fall and two Tech-Falls.  He also won the Washington 2-A State championship at 160 lbs in 2022.  And he was also the 2020 Washington 2-A State runner-up at 138 lbs.

The article goes into why he is referred to as a "long-shot"

My question is -------- is he still committed to Stanford?   The article mentions that he chose to commit to Stanford over other schools including Oregon State.

According to the Stanford twitter page he is a "recruit" for Stanford.  Yet there has been no mention of him on the WrestleStat list of recruits (as far as I can tell) or on the Intermat list of recruits.

He's been listed for quite awhile in Flo and he is in Wrestlestat. He has a younger brother Lars as well.

Just so you all know, Bremerton is across Puget Sound from Seattle.   The whole area west of Seattle is referred to as the peninsula.   Bremerton is a naval shipyards type of area.   Good for Thor to make it to D1.   Not many from WA get that opportunity.   And at a tough academic school as well.   Best of luck to him.

Define “not many”. Washington has quite a few guys in D1 right now.
