[@kamikazekid76]

kid is on another level than his competition. good job Dreshaun Ross

[@tylerharris1163]

He may be a sophomore, but that is a grown ass man.😂😂

[@DragonBelly1]

Yes compared to his apponents hahahaaa.😂😂😂

[@adamalbert7856]

Great strength agility, and BALANCE!

[@anoka114]

This kid(man) is a beast.

[@bryanduchane2371]

This kid isn't just a great wrestler, he's one hell of an athlete. Can see him have multiple scholarship offers from many Colleges and sports. Wrestling is a bit tougher to get big scholarships that are full rides, but football is loaded with NIL cash & fill ride scholarships. I would hate to lose this talented wrestler to football. However, which other sport he plays, I hope he gets a quality education....

[@Gymthingz]

It’s all about that money. Education is overrated.

[@tmzz3609]

I don't understand why people think NIL deals are large ........ They are publicly disclosed........ The only people getting large NIL deals are athletes with large social media followings and famous parents....... The highest NIL deals are LeBron's son, Deion sanders son, Archie Manning and Livy Dune....... The Average NIL deal is $400. Most players receive literally nothing...... If boosters wanted to pay players....... They would NOT use NIL deals to do it........ Did Ben Kueter get an NIL deal? Nope........

[@cgmoran91]

If he is 15 or 16 like most sophomores he will grew in to heavyweight. It will be interesting to watch his journey. Hopefully guys like Kueiter have success playing both sports, and this kid and many more will follow. Many successful NFL players wrestles. Hopefully this trend continues. When I couched, I had a Junior football player come out. 215 so we did not worry about weight. The next fall, the football coach said what did you do to him. He has jumped levels. He is always in position and tackles better than anyone on the team. What was sad, after that year the new football coach ( who also wrestled in high school) wanted all his guys in the weight room and very few wrestled after that. Football and track coaches often hurt out sport, and in the long run hurt their own sport. I can't tell you how many times we have had heavyweights come out their Senior year. That all say the same thing. I wish I had ignored the football coach and come out earlier.

[@theduder232]

What's unusual about this kid is how calm he is.

[@larrylutsky181]

Hard to believe that in the state of Iowa that the stands aren't full throughout the state championships.

[@user-wx2cq8ey7y]

Less people attend because most states have tournament televised,not sure about Iowa though.

[@bradrobertson4609]

They wrestle for three days . Most folks inly show up for the finals on saturday night…. Nobody cares to see who finishes 3rd on back….

[@noBearAdventures]

My GOD!! That was the definition of dominance

[@Gymthingz]

That hunch back is no joke. He a wrestler wrestler.

[@JS45678]

Such a humble, highly talented, highly gifted young man. Class Act! 👏👏👏

[@michaelmaloskyjr]

We are looking at one of the most extraordinary college wrestling athletes ever captured on video. Consider for a sec another football/wrestling phenom, Ben Keuter. We've all watched those videos; despite never being in jeopardy, Keuter didn't utterly dominate ALL his opponents -- not like this. Ross can barely hunch down enough to contain his height, then generates unreal torque up his legs through his shoulders. When he's running a wing or a blast double, notice that he's not buckling or repositioning to complete the move. Dude's like a fused piece of iron springing open in one unstoppable direction. I don't know which sport he'll focus on or maybe follow the Keuter route; but Good Lord I can't think of a body type/style to weather him (Chance Marsteller maybe?)

[@user-qz6co6qe6u]

I've got basically the same build as him but an inch shorter and a little less weight and I can't figure out for the life of me how he pulls some of this stuff off

[@bigbaldandugly]

This kid isnt anything flashy or super quick (i understand he wrestles st 215 where speed is sacrificed for power) but hes relentless and a freight train. Great to see.

[@michaelscott33]

He’s pretty damn slick…

[@bigbaldandugly]

@@michaelscott33 I wouldn't say that. Seems like he won't pull of any crazy moves like Bo nickal did.

[@scourge8097]

@@bigbaldandugly I'm sorry, but first of all, what a stupid metric. Pulling off "crazy moves," isn't a requirement to be a great Wrestler. MOST high-level matches are won with the things you learn your first year in the sport. Watch Taylor or Dake or the guys who BEAT Nickal at the higher levels. Or Kyle Snyder or Sadulaev, Saitiev, the greatest EVER. They weren't thriving on spladles or other fluke moves. In fact, most Wrestlers who do rely on those(Dylan Ness) they're generally more erratic. Second, Nickal was a 74/84. Not a 215. So that's also just a bad comp. Third, watch 4 of Nickal's matches where he dominates and then compare him to someone with a highly renowned Career and see if you think that's a fair comp. The kid is slick as shit, he's incredibly quick and...I'm at a loss for why pulling off "crazy moves like Bo nickal did," would be the standard you'd use for a (edit)* 16-year-old kid. He just turned 16...so not a 15 year old.

[@bigbaldandugly]

@@scourge8097 you're right pulling off crazy moves doesnt make you a great wrestler. This kid is a beast. But from watching he doesn't do anything slick or crazy technique wise. His Blast double and arm bar aren't slick moves. They are hard nose old school wrestling and they work great for him. I'd honestly would rather this kid than some defensive minded kid who can scramble out of any position.

[@scourge8097]

@@bigbaldandugly He is. He looks like the hunchback of Notre Dame when he's in his stance his back is so friggin thick. He's just on another level. I'd heard of this kid, but not seen him yet. Seeing him just walk through Iowa's best is...impressive. Especially as I know he doesn't Wrestle an easy schedule and he was still 45-0. Not sure if he's going to be the next Keuter, but he looks like he's on that level at his age.

[@skymanchronicles8936]

Oh boy, real good skills! Wow!

[@eveighty0]

He looked like a man among boys, and dominated from start to finish 💪🏾. Very impressive performance from this young man 👏🏾

[@CarlosReyes-bl5hg]

Impressive! Seemed like he got better every match.

[@billybud9557]

Ladreshaun Ross is gonna be a force in Div 1......needs to wrestle some elite tourneys and show 'em what he got. Future National champ Ithink

[@millwork3319]

Absolutely dominating! Very impressive.

[@sweetsinnndy5201]

Damn, he's really good.

[@jurellclark2642]

Me being a wrestler in my past on a national level and really competitive this might be one of the best high school wrestler i even seen

[@StarcraftDr]

Absolute hammer damn

[@acwright]

PSU should pick this kid up when he graduates. He will be the next Ed Ruth

[@jeffdelancey3851]

Don’t count on that. After the way they handled Brody Teske, that will probably bite PSU in the butt. Ross and Teske are both from Fort Dodge. Not sure where he’ll end up but Sanderson will probably learn a valuable lesson about recruiting over guys on the team.

[@reecec8490]

Iowa State will be the front runner.

[@andrewsabey]

That does not seem like a lot of people for an Iowa State Championship? That dude is on a whole other level than his competition.

[@dpc0809]

Would like to see him in some open tournaments against top high school and college athletes. Hopefully he keeps to wrestling but not if not hope he becomes a two sport athlete.

[@lyonanddebanderson4418]

That is one heck of an athlete, another Ft. Dodge ANIMAL. Dreshaun, keep up the great work you are absolutley fun to watch. You remind me of Alexandr Karlin "the russian bear". I'm a wrestler from Iowa too, way older now but I still keep tabs.

[@mobmagnet867]

best sport

[@Basichomelife]

Iowa needs to add more color to their roster . They better start recruiting

[@green5052]

black people are not required.

[@xavierhawkins949]

The re class is insane

He's a freakin giant haha

Please go to Iowa State!

Kid ran the table.

215? what a savage

[@braydenpatterson6507]

He made it look easy

[@musikkimies]

The cheerleaders are great, though they seem a bit out of place for a wrestling tournament.

[@anklepick9524]

That is so American and so corny. Feel bad for the girls but the seem to like it =)

[@mzzsoldier25yearsago65]

@@anklepick9524why do people always bring American into things just to insult the country ?

[@bryquentros]

Cheerleaders were at my wrestling matches once. That was because their van broke down before they could go to a basketball game.

[@anklepick9524]

@@mzzsoldier25yearsago65 I'm not American. It's not an insult. I mean you can take it as that but we Swedes also do corny/weird stuff. I always feel that Americans have a chip on their shoulder towards other nations. Why is that? Like everything is a competition of proving to be "the best country in the world" (I don't know how you would measure that). I think Americans needs to be able to laugh at themself and their country. Just remember most people like Americans (even though they might not agree with American foreign policies).

[@JayAllenification]

The cheerleading captain was a good friend of mine and I used to tell her not to cheer during my matches. I needed to hear my coaches not them.

[@copperstopperreal]

next 4 time right there

[@laydenyump3619]

He didn’t even get scored on at Fargo. He could potentially be a 3-4 timer

[@johnsaxon7940]

And to think, he just turned 16 in December

[@AntiPattern328]

How much weight does he cut? He looks huge compared to his competition. Tough guy with tons of talent, thats for sure!! He isn't just a bulldog, he has some great technique and mental awareness...

[@jarrodkruger4886]

Good Stuff. I didn't get the "wow" factor though.

[@gino1876]

Does Iowa have 4A as well? If so, I wish we could see him wrestle there.

[@reecec8490]

Not in wrestling, 3A is large schools

[@georgieporgie5115]

How olde is this dude? Seems like the husker wrestling team with 5th year sophmores!

[@timhavens6361]

Can’t wait to see where that kid goes to college? Penn State?

[@twiWright25]

This kid could be even scarier if he refines his pinning technique. Head up puts more chest to chest pressure on your opponent and flattens him out.

[@bryancoggs2985]

Iowa's heavyweight in a few years

[@familyguy5081]

Sophmore 45-0 record.....sheesh

[@firstlast-er9jq]

How did Jean ngoma make it that far in states he didn’t once sprawl, wizor, or change levels on 3 or 4 different shots. He seems like a good athlete that needs to watch hours of watching quality wrestling to take it to the next level I’m not sure if it’s a coaching problem yet but he’s to good an athlete to put so little of a fight on shot defense

[@davidluchsinger7377]

What year was he born?

[@johnsaxon7940]

He turned 16 in December 2023

[@morganstepp]

hammer

[@mrczz6690]

freak - gold medalist caliper

[@scourge8097]

The way this kid is built, he looks like a College '97. That back and those tree trunks...it's kinda silly. I'd like to hear how this kid compares to Keuter. Both on the Gridiron and the "Resilite," to quote Shane Sparks...and pretty much only Shane Sparks.

[@pinchatoulydirt]

He looks HUGE compared to his opponents.

[@user-jj2vg6kk9l]

Not an expert and Not to take anything away from him but is he that good because I thought his opponents had terrible defense and didn't look that experienced for state tournament level.

[@harrisongould9460]

The question is… Will he stay at this weight class for his high school career? If he does so, what’s gonna happen when he goes to college and there’s no weight class like this one? I think he’s just should just football I was college wakes up and creates a 215 pound weight class.

[@tsampson62]

He’d look great in a Penn State singlet.

[@rawbfish9355]

He looks big. I wonder how hard it was to make weight.

[@BigBoyWoogie]

Anyone know if he got MVP as a freshman too? Wonder if anyone has ever pulled off a 4x champion and 4x MVP?

[@orionganje6366]

pretty sure ben kueter did last year, never lost a hs match

[@familyguy5081]

That was a pin at 3:00

[@tommycryptic]

He looks way bigger than his ops

[@mattpickens1289]

2 out of 4

[@thetaxiucla]

Is Dreshawn like a 20 year old high schooler? That’s what it seems to appear in comparison with his opponents. Even if he’s not sandbagging he has a great adult physique.

They don’t train as hard or as consistent.

[@hatred-for_you]

He does, he already has division 1 offers

[@joemama-lq9yx]

To celebrate he took his kids out to McDonalds

[@lougiacobbi725]

It's not high school wrestling anymore when a "sophomore" looks like he's 33 years old. This happens everywhere now.

[@bigsky300]

Not trying to throw shade but I seriously question the age of this young man. I’ve seen him in person and watched him wrestle and he does not have the presence of a normal teenage. If he’s NOT the age of a normal sophomore, is it really fair to his competitors who are? In other words, if he’s already 18 or 19, then physically and mentally he’s more developed and more mature than other 15/16 year old guys. Just saying.

[@mattcary8075]

what does a senior vs a freshman look like 18 vs 14

[@noBearAdventures]

@@mattcary8075this comment was funny af. And 100% true

[@mochiman1943]

Pretty sure he recently turned 16 a few months ago

[@kc696969]

I like to see pins, but the bigger picture is, older and more experienced wrestlers are harder to pin, If you watch Bo Basset, he focuses on many attacks, positions, and over all, scoring points. Tech falls are a better indicator of skill than pins.
