Welcome aboard! Looks to be rising very quickly.
I’m not an expert, but gotta believe this is one of the better late recruiting season pickups for TnT. Isnt he a 2020 guy?
Still need Sokol at 149
Is he a room guy? Or 83% chance of reaching the podium?
Two thoughts.

Should we start a “fund me” for winter clothing?
I think you might want to edit that last sentence Sir.What a great get at a much needed weight class for us down the road. I think he has yet to reach his potential and he will be a guy who i feel benefits from mat time with Mark Perry ...that tall funky style is not the typical Hawkeye style but it can be built upon and maybe the basis for a couple High finishes at the Podium. Welcome aboard young man and stop and get yourself some nice WARM Hawkeye Wrestling attire as it is a wee bit warmer in Iowa City than Florida.
It did occur to me maybe I missed something, and I was trying to be polite, but I'm not seeing it. No worries either way. If the jokes on me, I'm good with it.@23 so far
Hot as in recruiting I think he meant
From rumblings and hints from people in the know; I believe that is the exact plan for ‘21Would be nice to have Rathjen and Reyna cover 149/157 and get Ayala for 125 and Paddy for 157/165.
Good time to be a Hawk fan people lets get fired up. Im so fired up Im going to hit my wife with a Jap double when she walks through the door tonight. Most likely she will understand its Wrestling season
He’ll feel right at home once Brands cranks the heat in the practice room up to 100.Two thoughts.

Watched his match with Zargo...some notes:
Nice slide-by
Very stingy...Zargo had him hopping on one leg 4 or 5 different times, only converted once.
Rode the shit out of Zargo. Very comfortable with a leg in. The the only thing I don't like is that he gets put down on his hip allowing the guy to create some space. This cost him two.
Body type...looks to be a 49 or 57 easy. Zargo had trouble with his length and flexibility.

Vs Ed Scott, PA State Champ
Scott has a real nice fireman's but Reyna is a dude who likes to roll around...gets out of some tough positions. Scott had what looks like a sure tilt for points and Reyna ends up in a Peterson finish for 5. Seems real comfortable scrambling which we haven't had for the most part. Towards the end, was stalling his butt off and ended up in OT so he must have picked up another stalling call because the score was 7-6 Reyna. Scores off Scott's shot to win it. Scott is one of Jody's guys and a good wrestler but Reyna would be a frustrating guy to wrestle...gumby asf. A solid counter wrestler, very tough defensively, good in uncomfortable positions. Needs to pick up the offense, not comfortable with typical handfighting...backs up some. Adapted to Scott's firemans...went RBY for a bit holding the arm back and then went underhook a defense. Definitely not your typical "Iowa" guy but should be a fun watching him.develop.

Here is his final's match with Saunders:

Funny how the Stritmatter trained Scott looks to have much more “Iowa style” than Reyna. Reyna looks to have great D and a lot of funk. Kids a winner
