157lbs Bubba Jenkins-Penn State vs. David Taylor-Penn State : Speakers & Interviews

Seemed like Bubba Jenkins wasn't trying.

Some ignorant post............both are very talented wrestlers Taylor 4x State Champ..Jenkins 2x would have been 3x. Bubba NCAA runner-up. Both are redshirting and am sure they wrestle one another in practice. With two talented wrestlers who have good movement, quickness and strengh it comes down to clean shots.....Bubba got his and scored.....Taylor looked to have 2 but good defense. Hope to see Bubba win the NCAA next year and expect Taylor to win at least 2 NCAA championships. There is no question that these two will push each other and wrestle hard with all that talent in Penn State room. As far as Taylor being hard or pissed why shouldnt he...he only knows one thing which is win not lose. No true Champion/competitor likes to lose especially in the finals of an open tournament. His attitude will help him become the college wrestler he was in HS. Continued success to both these talent wrestlers

Yo jenkins doesn't start?....well he kinda rusty and fat now. I feel bad for him he still is my favorite wrestler...I look up to him.

If i were david i would of double bubba at the end of the first when he just stood straight up with acouple seconds left, on the mat give no one any respect even though he is a national finalist. On the mat you wrestle hard and get after it, and the second your off the mat your teammates again no hard feeelings.

The kolat 2k4 psu edition is rare? My friend has those, of course his brother wrestled for Penn State.

DT shouldn't be so hard on himself, he did really good against Nationals finalist Bubba Jenkins, and I expect to see Taylor do BIG THINGS in college.

bubba should have destroyed taylor in that match but they are teammates you could also tell that taylor was afraid of attacking jenkins probably because he knew what he was capable of through experience dont get me wrong taylor is still considered a college stud in my book and this redshirt year will be huge he will put on mass muscle while wrestling the best the ncaa has to offer i predict a 4x ncaa champ and i also predict that he will win all of the open tournaments he goes to once the season starts and most of the ones before and if not place 2nd i look forward to watching taylor next season it will be incredible

taylor is actually pissed like he was supposed to beat jenkins!!! I guess that is the mind set of a true champion. relax David, you will be a stud and u have plenty of time. Dont be so hard on yourself

Did some of you actually watch the video. Bubba isn't in any real danger and he's wrestling his teammate. If you've been around wrestling you can probably see that Bubba could have turned it up and scored at will.

How can you not like this guy...never mind the fact he choose PSU. He's a proven winner, he's surrounded by all the right people and he sounds like he's got a great head on his shoulders. What I find suprising is he's wearing his SUPER 32 singlet AND IT FITS!

Where are the claims on this video that taylor is unstoppable? I'm glad the same idiots that posted on his other match aren't posting on this one. This kids is gonna be amazing when he gets to his final weight.

A lot of ignorant posts here. The kid is fresh out of high school wrestling with one of the best guys in the nation near his weight. Both looking pretty "fleshy" at 157, I doubt either are cutting big weight for this tournament during a redshirt year. When I opened this video, I actually thought it was mislabeled because David Taylor is HUGE compared to when he was at 135 last year. He hung in tough was close on a couple takedowns, give him the year to work, I think he'll come out and change some peoples minds next year, too many doubters after all that this kid has accomplished..

david is wearing the nike freeks, bubba is wearing the kolat 2k4 psu edition, really rare

he is already cutting some weight. Why does everyone think hes so small? Hes 6 foot and did you see those ceps?

what kinda shoes does bubba have...anyone? and taylor is gettin big

Taylor cut weight? That's ignorant. He makes the finals as a freshman in a red-shirt year. He's obviously growing. He takes this year to let his body mature and next year he's ready. Sanderson knows what he's doing and what will be best for the lad.

he looks good to me. True Freshman wrestling an NCAA Finalist and losing in a close match in the finals. Why cut weight? That is the stupidest idea ever. Allow his body to develop naturally ESPECIALLY when he is red shirting. Taylor is developing nicely. Cant wait to see him next year

it just looks like a big strength issue, he needs to cut weight

I agree that it looks like Bubba is not going hard at all. Lackluster match, and Taylor better grow into that body within the year or he WILL be outmatched next year. Not impressed at all, he looks slow and weak.

These 2 wrestle like they have wrestled eachother a lot during practice. Neither of them overcommits to anything, they both wrestle very cautious. You can tell they know what kind of attacks they are gonna throw at eachother. If Jenkins expects to compete for a national title he cannot wrestle as passive as this. Maybe his cardio is not where it needs to be right now and that is what caused his lack of offense in the third. That being said Jenkins had a great game plan, he knew what he had to do to win this match and he executed. Both of these kids are going to be great under Cael.

Also who in their right mind would of thought david taylor would be wrestling 157 in college a few years ago. From 112 as a junior in high school to 157 as a true freshman in college. Thats a huge jump, its amazing that he can compete at that weight.

taylor is a little small for 157

Those reading alot into the "1 pt" victory by Jenkins as an indicator of Taylor's progession should realize that Bubba has not trying to embrass his teammate here.

Cael's gotta like two PSU guys in the finals.

Like Taylor's attitude. Wait until he puts on some more muscle.

taylor need to look at some old flicks of OTTO OLSON

what shoes is bubba wearing??

Yea Sanderson "man handled" the kid during inter squad....see the link below. I heard Bubba was jacking the kid up in practice....jus seems he could have dominated him more.
