Location: The Convo (Athens, Ohio)
Where to Watch: ESPN+
Wrestler to Watch: Garrett Thompson
Garrett Thompson has been cooking up a storm for the Ohio Bobcats lately. In the recent Mid Major National Duals, he performed extremely well for his team after going 3-2 in the five matchups he had against other wrestlers in the 2-day tournament. Before the season began, it looked like the spotlight would be on another redshirt junior: Peyten Kellar. However, Thompson has proven nothing but sheer excellence for the Bobcats. Whoever faces him will be pushed to the limit.
