Donovan Doyle (Iowa City (WEST) (IA)) 21-0 Just wondering is this Strength coach Chris Doyle's kid?

 

[GG121AND2]

Yes - going to Harvard.

 

[HawkTalk3]

We interviewed him just after his committed to Harvard. He said he always thought he would be a football player for the Hawks until about last year

Kid has a bright future; good luck to the young man.

How interested were the Hawks in him wrestling for them?

Hmmmm....that second name sounds familiar.......

 

[MitchL]

Hmmmm....that second name sounds familiar.......

Yeah, I think his grandpa(Glen) was an Olympic champion back in the day. Not sure, maybe someone else knows for sure

 

[UndercoverHawk]

Hmmmm....that second name sounds familiar.......

I believe his uncle did ok. Maybe it runs in the family?

 

[WWDMHawkeye]

He'd be better if his uncle were Brody Grothus.

He's been improving a lot over the last couple years. Still a lot of upside with Nelson

 

[Spicolli]

Brands has big test in finals as he goes against #13 Will Lewan from Montini Catholic (another soph). Lewan won his semi 2-1 TB.

[Spicolli]

Silva is tough. He won Alex Thompsen's bracket at S32.

I believe his dad didn't push wrestling on him at a young age so he's still a relative neophyte from a competition and/or experience standpoint compared to many and now that he's embraced the sport he's catching up. That's to Terry's credit as I think most would have the impression that he's had him in competitions and pushing him hard since diapers.

I know last year he didn't cut weight which is why he was 113 at Fargo, but finished the year at 126. Still think it's the same deal this year, not cutting much weight.

 

[NYWRESTLER94]

Sucks to lose like that he was pushing the pace majority of the match he's wrestling 138 as a sophomore wonder what he'll project at in a few years
