Austin wanted it this year no question. I'm so glad to see him back on top again after last year. This was the best tournament I've seen since Kyle Dake and David Taylor's era.
Too many one-sided finals. the only one that really seemed to go suspenseful to the end was Alirez-woods
Oh, did he want it then? 6 years in and he wanted it more this year? Hey O'Conner, graduate already and get a job! You're grand-children miss you! **insert eye roll**
@@PApatriot It's actually his second championship win, with his 1st being two seasons ago.
@@PApatriot I mean college is for adults, can’t really complain about age. Just look at how many college football players are older than 21 and play until mid 20s. Sucks for the young guys but they know the comp
He actually won this one. The Sasso match was given to him. He was on his butt for a Sasso takedown.
Jordan Burroughs and Coach Gibbons did a great job with color commentary throughout the tournament ... Cormier, Burroughs, Gibbons would be awesome combo. Congrats to both wrestlers for a great tourney.
One of the best tournaments I've ever seen so many upsets including the biggest upset in the world of college wrestling. How Spencer got PINNED still has me shook
Get over it
Dude their NCCA D1 wrestlers. ANYONE of them who make it to this stage can win any given match. The skill gap isn’t that big.
@@bc5208 still. Lee won with no acls, last year. Sadly not sure Lee can have much of a post college career unless he does some major rehab on his legs
Lee's pin is up there with Dustin Kilgore coming back to beat the cowboys at 197 to give Kent State their first championship
@@McRarity So he was healthy enough to wrestle for himself & his own individual championship but the second his goal was out of reach he completely abandoned his team. Bro they were 2nd in team points and he just bails ???? Embarrassing.
I really didn't understand just how injured Austin O'Connor was last year. That's why when he lost in the first round in 2022 and still wrestled back to get AA status, it's even more impressive to me than this second championship. That's one tough man.
When you ankle pick a guy and they hop on one leg, that's basically how he was wrestling
@@thesoccertrotter1 He's the best UNC has ever had on the mat. Hell of a competitor.
@@diegopons4622 that run he had last year was brutal a lot of 3-2 overtime wins to place it was awesome
@npierce14 Yeah, he's an excellent wrestler. If he had been at 100% last year, the 157 lbs bracket with him, Deakin, and Carr would've been even more fun to watch.
Levi Haines is going to win at least two NCAA titles. With that being said: Austin is clearly the top wrestler at 157 lbs.
Nah he's gonna win the next 3 he may even move up a weight class when he wins it next year at 157
@@davidgutierrez4606you forget that a new wave of freshman will come and that there is still tough competition at 157. Bryce Andonia for example, even though he lost he had a huge lead that he blew
@@MinecraftBoy805 ya I agree with you on andonia he's really good
@David Gutierrez I predict he'll win the next 3, but Andonian and Franek are good competition. I'm rooting for Levi, though. He seems like a great dude, and he's obviously a great wrestler.
He just might he is a great wrestler..but let's not call him a true freshman. He wrestled 41 college matches last year and trained at Penn St. Which is basically a red shirt year.
The best guys can ride for a whole period. I really think that's what makes national champs at this level.
I knew AOC was going to win after the 2nd period. I bet he would have been a 3 timer had he not been injured.
Any Penn State fans complaining about 6 years of eligibility. Max Dean was a 6th year and he didn't even win back to back titles. Second of all it's normal with red shirt, Olympic red shirt, medical red shirt, and gray. Lastly Michael Kemerer; wrestled 7 years taking his freshman red shirt, an injury red shirt, he wrestled his covid year, and still had 4 more years of wrestling. For a guy that was injured last year, he technically could have did what Kemerer did and taken a medical red shirt and come back for 23-24. There are other 7 and even 8 year examples if you look it up, because some guys took 2 Olympic red shirts in years past. Myles Amine (7), Steven Micic (8 years, 7 for MI 1 at NW)
Majority of Penn St wrestlers are older. Beau Bartlett is a senior but in his second year of eligibility. RBY signed his NLI back in 2016!
TAR HEELS, BABY!!! Congrats and great job, Austin O'Connor!!!!
O'connor just look so strong. Like a man wrestling a teenager.
Not even being funny but it’s literally that Connor is 24 I think Levi 19 lol
@@jayday601 RBY is also 24. Age guarantees nothing.
@@dormilon36 oh absolutely but I’m talking just off of a experience standpoint it would help it can work in your favor or against it an example would be Iowa’s team last year half of the team was 25 and up and injuries Came at the worst time
That’s exactly what it was and it’s ridiculous. “5 time” AA plus a redshirt year.
@@dormilon36 all things being equal 5 years is a massive gap. Eligibility exists for a reason. RBY didn’t lose to a teenager.
Is that Donald trump in the back
Yes it was lol
yeah he's a huge zach elam fan
Time stamp?
@@robloxsportssportstrainer115 3:35
Donald is a huge fan
Not bad for Levi considering Austin is like 25yo 6th yr sr! Levi should own this weight class the next 3 yrs!!

@@karlmanning2603 that has about zero bearing on this. You get 5 yrs of eligibility. He’s in his sixth. Got a covid year. I know a lot of wrestlers intentionally get held back at a young age to mature also.
@@karlmanning2603 John (Bluto) Blutarsky
@@dwnsouthboy As long as you said the same thing when Cassar beat Gable Stevenson.
@@DiogenesLantern was Gabe a true freshman at the time? I’m not hating on O’Connor at all.
O'Connor's style is gritty as hell. He'll just grind you into the dirt until you're done for. That being said, Haines was very tough here and never gave up.
Hope this is the start to UNC really having a great program. With the history at that college, them being a wrestling power house would be awesome! Also the cleanest singlets in the game.
The best to do it in style
How is Austin in his 6th year? I know Covid gave 1 year eligibility but how’s he in his 6th. Can definitely tell the size difference between austin and Levi. Levi is a true freshmen and Austin is a fully grown man at this point LOL. Not taking anything away from Austin though.
Spencer and RBY among others in precisely the same situation.
@@dormilon36 none should be allowed to compete
Red shirt. In college you can gray or red shirt to add years. A gray shirt is taking a year after high school, some kids who graduate at 17 do this. Then there are two red shirt years, one for injury, and another for development where you can only compete unattached or if you're a freshman for 7 events (dual matches or tournament)
@@33moneyball some wrestlers were in their 8th year! I agree there should be a cut off somewhere.
@@vikinglobo2415 no
Best tournament in my life time forsho
Hats off to Haines. But O’Connor broke him mentally.
Well he’s been in college for 54 years and Haines was in HS a few months ago.
@@33moneyball Lol. Good point
@@33moneyball Haines has wrestled 41 college matches since before this year, sit down
@@MinecraftBoy805 shut your 🐔 holster right now!
Dude is like 24 while Haines is only 18. It wasn’t really a skill difference. It’s just that Austin was much more physically mature.
Levi will be multiple x champion. Fun to watch, he is a bit unorthodox, but a tough out for sure ...... good for Austin, glad he was able to get another
levi is so good being so young i thjnk he will be a three time national champion he gave a three year senior a great match
A gentleman never tells
The finals match at 157 was clearly wrestled in the semis this year
What’s o’Connor’s walkout song?
Connor will be 34 next week! Happy birthday 🎂🎈 bro!
Haines will be a 3 time National Champion !!!!
O'Connor showed why he's already a national Champ. Just too quick for Haines
More like 6 yrs more mature. Congrat to him but Jeeesh he’s a 6 yr Sr
@@dwnsouthboy Pretty normal in wrestling to be honest , not like guys can leave early and go pro.
@@michaelanselmi2292 6 yr sr is not normal. It’s unheard of and only exist because of virus
I think that the second period ride really did Haines in, and the third period was simply desperation once down 1-0 plus RT.
They need to bring back the 4 years and 1 redshirt and your done. This is so cheap
He’s him. Psu gets every call
AOC is a true champion
I don’t care what anyone says. Haines is a special kid. O’Connor is 25 years old.
Are people suggesting Haines isn't special or really good. Covid happened, guys got an extra year, oh well. Age has never mattered in college sports. Chris Wienkie won the Heisman when he was 28. Matt brown won his title at PSU when he was around 26 or so.
O’Connor is 24; same age as Spencer Lee and RBY. Haines may be “special,” but he’s also only the runner-up.
Lots of talent
This kid wrestled in college 6 years?! Wtf
Difference between a freshman and a senior
Lil Bobby, Romero🏆 right there
Any opinions on how this turns out if Haines takes neutral instead of down in the second period? “AOC still wins “ is a fair answer, but I wonder if it ends 1-0?
Lots of haters in the Comments. Haines is gonna have a great career.
I'm glad this ended the way it did. Austin is a senior. Haines still has 3 more chances to be National Champion. And as good as he looks here he could get at least 1 or 2.
both stalling
That ref is so annoying yelling for no damn reason
Gettysburg, 1999, 2001 whatever is Jason tomorrow I don’t want your what not that
I don’t like whoever’s talking
Easy
This joker like 30 years old against a kid
He is 24 💀 the same age as RBY and Spencer Lee
Pssh!
I know her hello where what me
Well...after 6 years, he can now go enjoy his grand-children. Move on dude! Thankfully for all of us, he didn't lose and find another year for some reason.... Do better NCAA !!!!!
2nd period...O'Connor holding Haines down, just pinching legs, every time Haines stood or quad-podded, making no effort to break down to turn Haines, was textbook stalling and ungodly boring wrestling. They have a rule against guys doing this on the ankles for 5+ seconds, but apparently it's okay if the stalling ride is higher on the legs.
Took one out of Penn State book. Ie (starocci, RbY, Brooks etc)
Allowing 6th seasons is openly ridiculous. A guy who shouldn’t be in college against a true freshman. Levi was probably in elementary school when Austin set foot on campus.
Even before Covid this was normal, 7 years is not but now we have 7 years because covid. Plenty of 6 year NCAA athletes. Lookup, redshirt, medical redshirt, Olympic red shirt, gray shirt
O'Connor would piss hot. He's just too strong !
You'd love a golden shower wouldn't you?
Tends to look that way against a true freshman
Genetically gifted
@@dominicsandoval2214 He was like a brick wall vs those elite level shots. When you rag doll guys that are juicing. You'd piss a horse nut out !
Bulldogs!
First comment 🙏
Meow
it was a stall fest, if he was hit with one stall like he should of it would been a better match. you can't just hold someone down with out trying to do anything else.
6th year. What a joke lmao
Haterade for you
That's pretty common especially for wrestling.
2021-2025 are going to be massively distorted because of an unprecedented influx of 6 year wrestlers. In 2026 we’ll return to normal but dozens of titles have and will have changed hands as a result. How many guys will be blocked by that rule? How many legends lose a legacy altering title to a senior citizen. How many guys never win that one title or make all American because of this. Levi is likely a true freshman champ without this special rule. He won’t be allowed to compete for 6 years.
Technically Austin could have taken an extra medical red shirt last year which some have, there are actually guys who have had 7 years. So 6 is still normal even before Covid. Only difference is they could grab 5 years of wrestling participation. Also we did not have a national championship in 2020.
The way Haines just stands up and puts himself in a bad position is annoying to me
