John Nicohlson/ DSJ







John posted a 20-8 record during his redshirt year against D1 opponents. Wins over Weatherman 3-1, Zilverberg (Minn) 3-0

according to nwca John did not wrestle any matches last year at ODU. I think he was out with a shoulder injury.

That match against St. John was not a fluke John came out and took it to Derek for 6 minutes. That being said I am not sure that John has progressed as much as Derek since high school, Derek would be a favorite if this match took place this year.

Nicholson is a very good wrestler and will have a good year and career at ODU. That being said, I don't think that he could hang with Derek St John right now. To be fair though, I don't think that many 157 pounders in the entire nation will be able to hang with DSJ this year. He is much better right now than he was in March and he was awfully good down the stretch!
 


DSJ was a great surprise last year. the kid just keeps getting better. so many good, young wrestlers on this team. and the perfect coach to train and develop them.
