    Talking Wrestling with Clayton Rush

    Clayton Rush put together one heck of a wrestling career. He was a 4x state finalist and 2x state champ for Aledo HS in Illinois. He had immediate success at Coe College, finishing as a DIII national runner-up his freshman year. After a 5th place finish as a sophomore, Clayton won back-to-back titles to cement himself as an all-time great. He’s since been inducted into the Coe College Athletics Hall of Fame, a feat he shares with his wife. It was also recently announced that Clayton will be inducted into the 2026 NCAA DIII Men’s Hall of Fame class. To top it off, he’ll be joined by his college coach, John Oostendorp. Clayton is a now head coach himself, currently at the helm of Alburnett HS.

    Talking Wrestling with Tomas Brooker

    Tomas did one year of wrestling when he was younger before he was persuaded to go back out in 9th grade. He ended his high school career as a 2x state finalist and state champ for Hickory Ridge in Harrisburg, NC. He’s currently a RS Sophomore at App. State, where he wrestles 184 lbs. and qualified for the NCAA tournament as a true freshman after winning a SoCon title. Not bad for a kid who started wrestling in 2019. Euphoria Coffee website: https://www.drinkeuphoriacoffee2go.com/ Let's Talk Wrestling website: https://letstalkwrestlingpodcast.my.canva.site/

    Talking Wrestling with Head Coach Ben Clymer

    Ben Clymer won a PA state title for Northwestern Lehigh in 2008. He qualified for the NCAA tournament 3 times representing Hofstra University, but failed to ultimately reach his goals.

    Talking Wrestling with John Erneste

    John Erneste is every coach's dream athlete. He works hard. Puts the team above himself. Is always prepared whenever his number is called. I guess that’s why he ended up placing 4 times at Park Hill HS and finishing as an AA for Mizzou. Back in Kansas City, MO., John is a wrestling coach at his alma mater of Park Hill HS.

    Talking Wrestling with Bradley Hill

    Bradley starred for the Bettendorf Bulldogs in high school, placing 3 times and collecting a state title. He would travel 3 and a half hours to practice at Sebolt Wrestling Academy. But if Bradley wanted to reach his goals, he knew he had to make the trip. After spending two years as a Hawkeye, Bradley made the decision to head to Oklahoma, where he’s ready to show the wrestling world (and himself) what sort of damage he can do.

    Talking Wrestling with Christian Carroll

    Christian was the #1 pound-for-pound wrestler in the class of 2023. He was a U20 World Team Member, a 2x Super 32 champ and a junior freestyle national champ. But what does that guarantee you? As Christian came to find out: absolutely nothing. Originating from Elkhart, IN, Christian spent a year at both Oklahoma State and Iowa State. Things seemed to be going a little sideways for him. But with the support of his inner-circle, Christian has found a home in Laramie at the University of Wyoming and seems to be the best version of himself.
