In this Technique Tuesday breakdown from his Scrambling with Ridge Lovett instructional, the 2025 NCAA Champion shows how to use scrambling to turn a deep shot into a scoring opportunity. Ridge walks through how to shift weight and control position scramble, elevate, and trap his opponent in a cradle.

You’ll learn:

• How to defend a high-crotch by shifting pressure and keeping them on one leg
• Step-by-step mechanics of the sit corner → elevate → cradle sequence
• What to do when your opponent tries to come out the backdoor

This is high-level, creative scrambling from one of the most unorthodox defensive wrestlers in the World.
