Jakason Burks Will Face Jesse Ybarra For The #1 Spot At 120
Iowa commit Jesse Ybarra will take on Oklahoma State recruit Jakason Burks at Who's #1.
Nebraska standout Jakason Burks will challenge Arizona star Jesse Ybarra for the #1 ranking at 120 pounds.
Burks will be making his second straight appearance at Who's #1, and will once again be the underdog when he faces top-ranked Ybarra.
The match has all the makings of a potential future college rivalry, as Ybarra is committed to Iowa while Burks will be joining the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The future Hawkeye beat Burks 4-1 in the Akron semis back in June.
In addition to making this year's Akron finals, Ybarra won Fargo last July. A two-time Arizona state champ for Sunnyside, Ybarra also has a previous win over Dom Serrano, who will also be competing at WNO.
Training out of MWC, Burks was a Cadet world teamer in Greco and Fargo champ last year. Then last month, he finished second in freestyle and third in Greco at Fargo.
Both are rising seniors and Top-20 recruits in their class. Ybarra is #16 and Burks is #20 on the latest 2020 Big Board.
