I'm far from a fan of Iowa wrestling, but now I'm a huge fan of Drake Ayala. I don't know if you saw the story a couple weeks ago, but being #1 in the country at 126 and pretty high P4P, he bumped to 132 for a tourney knowing super soph Ryder Block was going to be there. Citing that it's not about wins and losses this year, but to get better and prepare for the next level. They met in the finals and he lost. First time in a long time. Wrestled 126 last weekend and dominated. This weekend was the start of their state series. Drake decided to put his 4th state title on the line and weighed in at 132.
Something to think about when the annual "easiest path" conversations start up in a couple weeks
