2 Iowa State recruits competing that I have noticed.
145: A pair of top 70 overall senior recruits leads the way in this field. Three-time state champion Nikko Villarreal (Gilroy, Calif.) is ranked No. 8 in this weight class and No. 44 in the Class of 2014; while 2013 state champion, and NHSCA Junior Nationals champion, Renaldo Rodriguez-Spencer (Cheektowaga, N.Y.) is ranked No. 67 in the Class of 2014. Rodriguez-Spencer missed his state tournament series this year due to injury. Others to watch include Junior Greco-Roman All-American and three-time state champion Brandon Ashworth (Spanish Fork, Utah); another three-time state champion in Jake Spengler (Lake Highland Prep, Fla.); a trio of state runners-up in Beau Minnick (Clyde, Ohio), Robert Penichet (Christopher Columbus, Fla.), and Brendan Colbert (North Hagerstown, Md.); as well as returning NHSCA Junior All-Americans in Willie Davis (Woodbridge, Del.) and Nolan Viens (Bellows Falls, Vt.)
195: Three nationally ranked wrestlers headline the field in this weight class, No. 6 Marcus Harrington (Waterloo West, Iowa), No. 15 Reggie Williams (Johnson City, N.Y.), and No. 20 Tristan Sponseller (Bermudian Springs, Pa.). The other primary contender is state champion Ian Baker (La Costa Canyon, Calif.), who was champion at NHSCA Juniors last year. Additional names to watch include two-time state champions Josh Latham (Chickasaw, Okla.), Matthew Olauson (Queen Anne's, Md.); as well as Super 32 placers Cory Damiana (Lower Cape May, N.J.) and Wood Mancuso (West Carteret, N.C.)
