College FRESHMAN beats NCAA Champion | Carter Young vs. Seth Gross 

I'm an old man now but I regret not having my head right about wrestling when I was in school. I *really* hated losing, but I didn't really give a shit about winning and didn't really understand what the sport could teach me beyond what sweaty balls smell like. I quit after a couple of years and never looked back until I was in my 40's. Good on these dudes.

Props to both wrestlers! Great battle betwen two warriors! Also, a fine job by the announcer who filled in the periods of inactivity with stats, info., etc. Very professional with a bright future in announcing if desired!!!

I love when an unranked conquers the best the sport has to offer.

Nothing better than seeing a former national team teammate doing big things while I sit on my fat ass and take dabs…

That was a David vs Goliath situation and David came out on top. Respect

So proud of Carter. He’s become such a great wrestler. My son and him wrestled each other in the Fargo finals years back. Fun to watch.

My guy Carter is a BEAST!! On and off the mat, proud of you man!

I played football and was a sprinter on our track team in '82 when I was a freshman. I ran the 440 & 880 sprint relay. We never lost a race. I ran the 100 once and won with a 10.1. That year Chris Collinsworth won the state championship with a 10.0. He was 6'5". I was 5'6". If freshmen competed with the rest of the HS kids, I think I could have beaten him. Never underestimate a freshman.

Wow, good for Carter Young. His development could be hindered at Northwestern, not the best program for developing talent. Imagine what a John Smith or Terry Brands could do with that kid.

This is pretty crazy because Carter is looking like he’ll never be an all American on the NCAA level

me who never whatches wrestling.. ooh whats this bouncy red brick.. ahh yes the traditional ceremony as the ref picks it up.. squishes it and walks it out the ring.. I love learning about new customs.

Very smart of Young to stay exposed in the tilt until he broke Gross’s lock!

I can't wait to watch Carter this year. And the points they put up are like Gross v Cologne

"They're going to have a conference here, real quick." Ummmm. I started and finished James Michener's _Hawaii_ and learned the bass part in Beethoven's _Missa Solemnis_ during the instant replay break. I support the idea of replays. Getting the calls right is very important, especially in a match that was close from beginning to end. Most of the time in team sports, the couple of minute break doesn't make a difference. However, here the men could have been sent off to take showers and warm up again and still had time to sign autographs. Rewatching 42 seconds of wrestling took about 300 seconds while the wrestlers paced. Unfair to both.

Gross' style is much more suited to folkstyle.

Can't imagine having to wrestle a match through a video replay break

My man was so exhausted after that win that he instantly stood up to shake his opponents hand but forgot he was still on the ground behind him lol

I'm a Seth Gross fan, but he always gives me fits...Sammy Sasso too. They ARE entertaining.

Wrestling tears of joy for the underdog always. !! Beating the control freaks.

I can't stand the amount of time they have to wait. That is a key.

Makes me think of Gable's standard of working the entire time, no "breathers" while in the match. so much of it comes down to wind, I'm starting to think that not ever runner is not a wrestler but every wrestler who wants to be great must be a runner, with wind second to none.

That was a lot of action and very entertaining

Carter kinda looks like Wayne Wells. That was awesome.

That was a really good match but idk why reward takedown so fast cpl didn’t seem like had much control seemed as if were still scrambling

FloWrestling is the best... at telling us who won the match in the description of the video.

Why don’t these you tubers EVER tell us (the guys who don’t follow) which one is which? This is the perfect video for that distinction.

The funkiness that works in folk-style and collegiate does not always translate well to freestyle...different funkiness required???

fair game and competition is always welcome.

Geez those challenges really kill it, they need to speed up the process

Sometimes the RU-vid algorithm is good to me

What a great match. Good on you young buck.

The long ads killed it for me.

Great match!

Nicely done young man

Wow they both got a 5 minute break 42 seconds into the match.

He is great.

Fun fact: 87% of wrestlers love the meat stick.

Miss wrestling 🤼

Yo tell y’all editors to cut the review

im not sure how you do the scoring in the usa , but the dude in blue was pinned , i guess im confused on how a guy completely on his back gets points?

hell of a match

So far away...I need specs to see anything!

when do they wrestle?

Don’t you just love the tights these guys wear?

In the off season you don't get better by holding your opponent in a locked position for a minute; this is what happens and this is what should have happened, I will be following Young through his career

folk and freestyle are different sports

Carter is SO sweet!

I felt like Seth could’ve had a 4 from that instead of two and the scoring seemed a bit off a lot of extra twos that shouldn’t have been given but that’s what happens when you wrestle like Seth gross in freestyle

How does one end up here ?

Dang I remember when I wrestle him. He always tech me but aye he’s a state champion and I’m a 3x state place lol props

Freshman is a choice! You don't have to be a freshman on the mat, court, field! Good job boyo!

They sure do a lot of pacing, it makes me anxious, thats what you do when you get out of prison, puts everyone on edge

Very close match. This could have gone either way. Will they wrestle against each other again before Gross graduates?

These judges 😤

Wish Seth would go back to using the spladle

It constantly looks like their knees are about to get shredded

This is the guyest thing ever

You push on that pressure point on hand he gonna let go quick af.

6:12 his leg is completely bent backwards and he doesn't even blink, he must have no ligaments in there

Wow a Stillwater native that didn’t go to Oklahoma State

His reach is amazing. Effortless single leg 🦵

He’s the main character in saints row

Bro how did his knee not break 🤢

Thanks again for announcing the results..I still couldn't have ruined it any better.

The biggest wrestling upset since Louden Swain beat Brian Shute.

Carter young will win a title before he leaves college, im calling it now.

Maybe you can Have a match with Spencer Lee.

Jeez,couldn't have edited out the huge delay in the match?

Of all the things I have no clue how it's scored.. wrestling is my favorite to watch. I'm a pretty big sports fan and I have no clue what's ever happening

i do like the announcer here in this match

Seth must have got the jab.

Why no head pro?

i don't know anything about this sport... but how does someone force someone out of the ring and not get points for getting out of the hold by forcing someone out? that should seem like a significant thing to me.. maybe I'm wrong. I really don't know.

Ayy I wrestled for Stillwater

Rare are wrestlers that are elite at all 4 styles.

Hell of a match

Gross , are we related? Anyways good job wrestling guys.

Wisco huh.. Yup .

Not too uncommon to see these top guys lose in the constellation finals match after they lost in the championship bracket. A loss is devastating to them. Look at Carter Starocci beating Jason Nolf. Nolf wrestled Jordan Burroughs very well and lost, then lost in the constellation finals to Carter.

Freestyle scoring is so subjective.. should be better defined.. The whole "back exposure" and who "initiates" is ridiculous and wont be scored the same way by 2 out of 10 experienced referees. Should have to hold position for at least a count of 1 to show control to score.

What weight is carter at?

Almost had to wrestle this guy one time

These points are ridiculous lol.

So good!!!

This was a good math. I went against flo 2 years ago and there good! Good job both wrestlers

2+2+2..2 chest wrap pulls and 2 for back exposure..

Anything can happen in a match; accolades dont mean anything.

They really need to clean up the rules in this sport to make it more friendly for outsiders to understand. I'm a big boxing fan trying to get into wrestling, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what the hell is going on sometimes with the scores.

Wow

What school is he planning on going too

Who needs to get in shape anymore with these challenge calls. Get rid of the challenge crap and let them wrestle

Cats got them a stud!

Flo why do you keep spoiling it?????

Anybody that beats Seth, as a ROOKIE, is gonna be a problem!

Kyle Dakes long lost kid

I wonder how tall these two guys are. They look a bit slim for 61 kg

My god they change the rules so often it's impossible to keep up.

is this some kind of hugging competition?

6:05 drag single

Go to 5:50 to skip the massive break.
