Gomez from Wisconsin….
- Thread starter Spoons
- Start date
The Wisconsin site describes the injury as a “lower body injury” nothing more specific than that.
It was a knee the way it looked to me. Just based on body language after the trainer came out, I think he felt he may be done. Reminded me a lot of Jayden last year. This is totally just speculation on my part though.
Gomez seemed pretty upset. Seemed pretty significant of an injury by his indications of pain and disappointment as he walked off the mat. Don’t want to see anyone’s season end like that if it did. Perhaps it was just his initial reaction and he will be back this year. Kinda late in the season but still time for him if it’s not too bad.
We’ve seen someone win it all with 2 torn ACL’s. Get yourself a brace. Excuses are for wussies!
It was his untaped knee. Seems like a relatively innocuous movement when it occurred.
Knee.
He was in handshake line after the meet.

He must have smacked one of his huge brass balls on something.
i was wondering if this is brands fault
He was in considerable pain. Tried to go and fell down in agonizing pain. Ehen the trainer did the lachmans test it looked lose. Who knows.
looked pretty bad. basically non-contact. would suck to see him go out like that
I have not heard on the extent of the injury, but I've heard he'll be back for Big 10 tournament. Competing at 100% I do not know.
Gomez is out of eligibility after this year. You can bet the farm he’s gonna wrestle and try to win it all. I think we see him MFF out of big ten semis and have a tourney like Eierman did last year.
Pretty sure he has 1 more year left:
18 - rs
19 - fresh
20 - injury(medical rs)
21 - free year, but did not wrestle
22 - soph
23 - jr
24 - sr
So you are saying there is a chance..... That he enters the portal and becomes our new 149 next year!?!?!?
Seriously? How is it possible he could have another year? Dude fixing to blow right by Grandpa Mike
I believe an Oregon TE is getting ready to enjoy his 9th year in Eugene this fall.
Oh I know...and it's bullshot. Enough is enough. Mike was a ridiculous but eight or nine years of college? No
I think he is going on his 8th (and has entered the transfer portal now, going to Miami maybe?) but because he's missed four seasons of injury and has the Covid year, he is eligible for a 9th if he wants it in 2024. IIRC he redshirted, has played two full seasons, played the beginning of two others seasons where he got hurt in first couple games, and missed two seasons completely from preseason/spring injuries. So he's still played less than 30 games.
In wrestling if you happened to enroll in the right year and were good enough, you could redshirt and take two Olympic redshirts, plus wrestle four healthy years to a seven year career even without injuries or a free Covid season.
Feel bad for the kid. It isn't like he has asked to be hurt. He wrestles tough and isn't afraid to let it fly. I for one never want to see kids hurt competing. Grandpa Mike finished as a shell of what he could have been. I feel like he never reached his true potential because of injuries. Alex Marinelli also was oft injured and to see him hurt and trying to gut them out. There are obviously others from other teams. Meki Lewis recently was running on fumes at the end of nationals. Hopefully he can compete and be effective.
