I don't know anything about this young man but a 4 time state placewinner in FL is not a bad pickup. Fl is no PA, NJ or oh but it does have some pretty good wrestlers come out of it.

There's some good wrestling in FL. Lots of athletes in that state. Good pickup, the public school ranks in high school sport are usually full of DI talent in any sport.

Excellent recruit with tremendous upside potential.
With LU Captains, Shaun Smith (157) and Frank Gayeski (ranked 21st, 149) both graduating, he has the potential to come right in and have an impact.
Welcome aboard, Gab.
