No one in the college wrestling world is talking about the dual result, just the result of that last match.
Coon is the first collegiate wrestler to beat him since 2015.

Snyder was able to beat the best that Putin could thow at him. Congrats Coon.
February 11th, 2018 at 8:45 PM ^
Snyder wrestled an actual bear!?
February 12th, 2018 at 7:41 AM ^
uhhh yeah, did you see Coon?
February 11th, 2018 at 8:27 PM ^
Is there a place to catch highlights of this?
February 11th, 2018 at 9:47 PM ^
February 12th, 2018 at 8:57 AM ^
There is not.
February 11th, 2018 at 8:27 PM ^
should pretty much have his own pos bang!
That was so inspiring!
Of course, if they have an ultimate showdown, it happens in damn Cleveland.
Still, what a victory! What an effort! On this night, Coon was too much for him!!!
February 11th, 2018 at 8:29 PM ^

It is a fair question because there can be a huge variance in the NCAA heavyweights. For example, Kyle Snyder is 5'11" and 220lbs, but Adam Coon is 6'6" 285lbs
So realistically, Coon has the size to play OL, but I have no idea if he has ever played a down of football in his life.

He actually has dream of playing in the NFL...but the OLYMPICS is his number one dream!
February 11th, 2018 at 9:06 PM ^
And he won a state championship in wrestling.
He was able to use wrestling techniques to gain leverage against bigger OL.
Here's a recent (in the last year) article about him: LINK

Mike Martin is another DT who wrestled in high school (and won two state championships). He was also an exceptional shot putter.
February 12th, 2018 at 12:17 AM ^
I saw him win that state championship. I believe he beat Spolsky (RIP) out of CC who looked like an absolute beast. Already been mentioned but Mike Martin and I believe Terrence Taylor was also a former HS wrestling state champ.
Honestly the HWT class in wrestling has to be one of hte weakest weight classes, if only becasue so many of the top athletes that size are on football scholarships.

Someone tell Coon that his surest way to fame and glory is to saddle up on the OL and just put people on the ground for a season. NO HOLDING THOUGH.
Seriously though, 6'6 285 as a college wrestler, he's probably very toned. I'm going out on a limb and going to say that seriously, Harbaugh needs to get his fingers in this guy's future.
Edit: watched his videos. This guy could play OL fairly easily. Frankly he has better footwork than anyone I've seen on the line in a while.
February 11th, 2018 at 8:53 PM ^
Congratulations Coon. Great job
February 11th, 2018 at 8:53 PM ^
It is still pretty crazy to me that Synder and Coon are considered the same weight class with a 60lbs difference.
This has probably been asked before, but why doesn't the NCAA have a weight class between 197lbs and Heavyweight? The Olympics seem follow the United World Wrestling weight classes with a 97kg (~215lbs) weight class right before the heavyweights.

That takedown would have only taken it to sudden death. And frankly, I didn't like his chances. The OSU guy was kinda throwing him around.
