Throughout the season, Brute will bring you its National Wrestler of The Week. Wrestlers can be from any age level and will be selected based on their performances from the previous week only.
This Week’s honor goes to Ryan Solomon of Milton, a two-time PA State Champion. Solomon confirmed his #1 ranking by winning what was regarded as the deepest weight class at the Beast of the East.
His 195lb bracket contained eight nationally recognized wrestlers. Solomon won in style, majoring HM-Spencer Neff, defeating NJ State Champ Rahzonn Gross, 4-1, and beating #6-Ray O’Donnell 3-1.
Solomon is a six-time Fargo All American and will attend Pittsburgh next year.
