‘I just got tired of it’: Southeast Polk’s Nate Jesuroga explains why he’s done wrestling

Nate Jesuroga, one of #iahswr's top competitors, didn't wrestle this past season. In a sit-down interview this week, he explains why, and what's next.

Some clarity. Near the end he talks about getting a concussion.

Biggest thing is to enjoy your life, doing too much of one thing can make you hate it.

Good luck young man.

Nice article. Kudos to him & his parents for making & allowing him to change paths in his life

 

[Cypacker]

Good for him!

I don't follow it that closely, but who is the most successful college wrestler from the Sebolt stable? I know there was chatter about ISU needing to get an "in" with Sebolt and was just wondering.

 

[Mead For My Horses]

He was a ferocious wrestler and I'm sure he'll be a ferocious Navy Seal. All the best to him.

“Wrestling taught me to work hard and how to perform at a high level,” Jesuroga says. “I’ll use that and always remember that, no matter what.”

I liked this part. Doesn't love wrestling enough anymore to compete at the level he needs to, but will still use the core values he learned from the sport. Good luck to him.

So went back and looked at NCAA Championship AA since 2015 (nothing for 2020, Covid)
125 - Peters (UNI) 2016
133 - Clark (Iowa) 2015, 2016, 2017
141 - None from Iowa
149 - Blockhus (Minnesota) 2023
149 - Sorensen (Iowa) 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018
149 - Thomsen (UNI) 2017
157 - None from Iowa
165 - Steiert (UNI) 2019
174 - Brands (Iowa) 2023
174 - Meyer (Iowa) 2016
184 - Coleman (Iowa State) 2022, 2023
184 - Foster (UNI) 2017, 2018
184 - Holschlag (UNI) 2018
184 &197 - Miklus (Mizz, Iowa State) 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019
197 - Sloan (SDSU) 2023
197 - Gadson (Iowa State) 2016
285 - Gremmel (Iowa State) 2021

So what non program did these guys wrestle for? Sebolt, Big Game, other or none

Concussions, and it sounds like his was pretty severe, are a game changer for some athletes. Its scary to think about the part that really makes you yourself changing in a traumatic and sudden way.

I am at the point where I'd rather have the relationship with Big Game than Seabolt

Cory Clark would be the Golden Boy out of the program. Lots of prep success, but Cory Clark is really the only college standout off the top of my head. Lots of high hope for Schriever and Ayala coming out. Schriever not so much, but Ayala still has time. Other names would be like Jack Hathaway, Brody Teske, Willie Miklus, Bryce Stiert, Austin Yant, lots of underclassmen fresh in college currently. Dreshaun Ross may make a case for the top wrestler if he decides to wrestle instead of playing football.

He had one of his club sites in the ISU room for a bit, didn't he? If that isn't enough of an in, there will never be one. Which, there will never be one.

So far I don’t think there has been much. But the first really crop of Sebolt only starts with Schriever.

Ayala, Arnold, Keuter, Block are all up and coming. I personally think Ayala is going to be very good, and Keuter will be if he decides to wrestle.

the 4 all-americans this year from Iowa HS:

Nelson brands - started wrestling in middle school
Marcus Coleman - did not start wrestling until 5th or 6th grade?
Tanner Sloan - 1A kid, 4 sport athlete
Michael Blockus - wrestled at what is now Immortal growing up

It pays to play the long game. My opinion is that the current youth wrestling culture is partly why we see so many injuries and guys wrestling less matches in college. Some of these guys have literally thousands of matches under their belt before they enter college.

I wish Sebolt would have learned from his own career, i've heard there is more to the jesuroga story and there has been a partial exodus of guys leaving his club.

There was a kid that had 150 matches in the last year that wrestled one of my friend's kids last year.

He was in 3rd grade.

The dad of this guy told me he broke a thousand matches before HS.

Does Arnold really count as a Seabolt kid? He spent one year there after moving to Iowa City, but didn’t grow up in it like some of the other guys

Best of luck to Nate and THANK YOU for wanting to serve our great country!

One question that I do have is IF Nate has a change of heart can he wrestle college for the Navy? I know he probably won't change his mind but I can't help but think of Austin Gomez who retired because of concussions and then had a change of heart and was able to come back and wrestle for Wisconsin. I'm just curious as to Nate's options if he has a similar change of heart.

I don't think so. Navy athletes are enrolled at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. It sounds like Nate will be enlisting, which is a separate career track from enrollment at the academy.
