6-0 entering the first place match later today where he will be favored. 3-0 at 182, 3-0 at 195. Beat #4 A J Heeg and UNI recruit C J Walrath at 182. I was a bit skeptical that Gabe was big enough to compete at 182 but he’s winning me over. Hard to score on and quicker than his opponents. Has no problem standing up and getting away from bottom position. Powerful lower body.
Gabe Arnold at Elite 8 Duals
- Thread starter Reymundo
- Start date
Expect to see him at 184 for 4 years
he's almost impossible to score on, but still want to see him open up. when he goes, it's textbook clean scores, but doesn't open up much against top competition.
the positive side of that is he'll have a lot of experience closing tight matches.

Hoping he piss pounds the ISU wonderboy when they face off in the future.
His body type seems to indicate it would be tough making 174 in college, just naturally too big in the thigh and hip areas. Going to have to be a Phil Keddy type 184 pounder. Gas tank and his ability to get in deep and finish on guys will dictate his college scoring abilities. He won't be much of a scoring threat on the mat so take downs and release and gas tank to execute will be the ticket. Steveson has a similar build vs the competition on a larger scale. I'm not saying he will be Steveson but if he gets some proficiency at getting in and finishing on guys he could develop some bonus ability. If not then there will be a lot of close low scoring matches. Being pretty much unrideable will help his style a lot.
I saw one of his matches posted on Twitter and Gabe was dwarfed by his opponent; that said, it must have been one of the 195lb matches because it ended by fall. I always assumed he was wrestling up in weight during high school and would thereby fit in at 174. Either way just hope he’s successful on and off the mat.
Gabe’s hand fighting is already elite even for the D1 level. Incredible scrambling ability as well. Folks forget just how young he is. Sky is the limit with his work ethic, desire to be great, and gas tank.
I recall him missing weight for an event (early in the year possibly) at 175 lbs. Can’t imagine that weight cut will get easier as he grows into his man body. 184 is likely where we’ll see him for his Hawkeye career. We seem to have a couple guys that fit the bill at 165, giving somebody an opportunity to put on some size and compete at 174.
Wonder if 174 isn't where Riggins is headed. He looks tall with the right frame to fill out the weight. Gabe reminds me of his uncle with his scrambling and defense. That's a good thing.
I realize things change, but this article from Cody Goodwin earlier this year projected him at 165/174.

Now that's some good research there! You could have gone with Robert Tooley, Mike Daniels, Brad Daniels, or Carl Arnold. All answers would be correct.
You serious Clark? Just in case you are his uncle is 2 X World Champ J’ Den Cox.
Really, is a casual fan supposed to know this?
I'm sure more than a few casual fans appreciate your explanation, and will gladly thank you for not demeaning them in the process of answering. 😉 😃
Actually that would be his cousin. My sister's youngest son. J'den was the runt of the litter. ;-P
Certainly not demeaning, it’s a line from a movie. If you’ve not seen it, it’s “real nice”. Btw Dub isnt a “casual fan” and is rarely serious on this board.
Does excessive sweating run in the family? Asking for a friend.
I didn't know it, because it isn't true.
Glad I made the list 😁Now that's some good research there! You could have gone with Robert Tooley, Mike Daniels, Brad Daniels, or Carl Arnold. All answers would be correct.
There was a picture on Flo of Gabe this weekend. As usual, he was SOAKING WET. It's a familial thing. I was just as bad, if not worse back in the day. Literally, you put those two together in a wrestling room, two hours later..... it's a swimming pool. . . .Does excessive sweating run in the family? Asking for a friend.
ooooooh, Cox & Arnold Oil wrestling. "When Cox alone won't do". . . . .
I forget more shit by noon on Monday than some learn all week long. Lol
slight sprain. He did it on his last escape against Heeg in the semis. They Shouldn't have let him wrestle the final match. You could tell it hurt. He thought they still might be able to pull out the win. He'll R&R it this week.
🤣😂 I knew that one off the top of my head. The others no way.Now that's some good research there! You could have gone with Robert Tooley, Mike Daniels, Brad Daniels, or Carl Arnold. All answers would be correct.
Well I identify as an 18 year old 160 pounder. I think I have some eligibility left too. . . .
