Just watched this.  He seemed to have a good attitude throughout.  Also kudos to him for wrestling and winning for 5th knowing he didn’t qualify.  Not sure why the kids he wrestles never seem to like him.  He is bringing way more attention to D2 wrestling than pretty much anyone since the time they were allowed to wrestle at D1 NCAA’s.

His coach is a friend of mine and the coach told me that Henschel is "100% bought in and a great representative for the program."

My only guess is that a lot of guys probably want to knock Henschel off his pedestal, so to speak, because they might feel like he doesn't belong. The kid seems to just wrestle hard and win a lot, so the spotlight on the sport, at that level, is a net positive from what I can tell.

Lots of jealousy I'm sure. He's a D2 wrestler who has a half million subs on YouTube built from nothing. That's incredible.

Awesome to see the kid be so humble and make this video about his teammates. He showed no ego, zero pity for himself, and an amazing, positive attitude. The sport needs more of this, and I wish him great luck in whatever is to come in his life.
