Cadet world freestyle champion Matt Ramos (Lockport, Ill.) verbally committed to the University of Minnesota on Tuesday evening. He made his announcement on Twitter.

The No. 59 overall prospect is a two-time state placer, yet to make a state final, finishing fifth and third the last two seasons. Additional notable success for Ramos comes in a Preseason Nationals title last fall and a NHSCA Junior Nationals title this spring in folkstyle, along with Cadet National runner-up finishes in both styles last summer. He projects to compete collegiately as a 125-pound wrestler.

I researched Ramos's path to become a world Champion. He had to come back from deficits in all of his matches to clinch the world title. Obviously he didn't let himself get too rattled like most wrestlers do. I look back to some of the true champions such as Taylor vs Yazdani .... Bourroughs vs Dake ... Snyder vs Sadulaev or especially Pico vs Ness. Pico was down 9-0 and came back to win 19-9! wow. All came back from deficits to win their match.

I have seen too many wrestlers get behind, broken and give up in the match. Ramos not even a state champ yet went on to win a world championship.

He looks to have the heart of a true champion and we could see great things from this fine young man. Congratulations !! Fine job young man ....


Minnesota could use a great wrestler like him
