I'm originally from SE Iowa as well...

South Central represent! :D

Nice! know any Mepo people? Burlington? Wapello? Ft. Madison?

Osceola. :D

Ok in the attached photo. I was the one who got 6th that year and the dude who got 2nd in my bracket at state was from Clarke-Osceola.

So you're saying your li'l bro was a 94-pound weakling right before Super Bowl LIV started?

Yeah... good timing right?

Badass. Happy for you and your Bro, Rico!

Thanks man! And crap, this is the second compliment in this thread where i accidentally hit the downvote arrow. Ugh. My bad man!

Nice. I haven't been back there in years, wouldn't know anybody there other than my parents.

Ok, so my brother read this thread and to start, he loves you guys... Secondly, he noted every piece of advice written by guys on here. Because of the advice he read on here and because he hasn’t given up on his dream of trying out for the Chiefs someday, he bulked up and went up a weight. He got up to about 195 lbs and is wrestling 174 now... He doesn’t play football there despite being there on a football scholarship...he just wrestles. He wants to save his body and win a few more titles... He still partakes in a lot of the football workouts and they continue to monitor his measurables... He ran a 4.4, 40.... If you don’t believe me, you will by the end of this post.

We wondered if the bump up in the weight would affect his dominance on the mat given the guys he’s facing are bigger now... it HAS.... In the best way imaginable... GET THIS:

His season is half over. He is undefeated and his closest match all year was a 14-1 win. He is ranked first...he wrestled the #2 guy yesterday who was a good D1 starter for Wyoming the last 2-3 years who transferred for Grad School.... He KILLED him. He has pinned everyone else in the first two periods. Here are his matches... He is a FREAK at 174...

My brother has become one of the baddest dudes on the planet... I would compare him to Christian McCaffrey because they are the same exact size with similar frames, but that wouldn’t be doing justice for Brennan. Christian ran a 4.49.... that’s Brennan’s avg... his personal best is 4.40... He has wrestling skills that McCaffrey could only dream of having.... And he has lived and breathed Chiefs football since he was born.

Brett Veach, if you are reading...if you want to add to your legacy of being a genius, bring this kid in for a look. If college basketball players can find a fit on the field, wrestlers can do more.... it is the sport that creates the world’s biggest, most driven badasses. I am dead serious.... He can do this.

HERE ARE SOME OF HIS FOOTBALL STATS FROM HIS SENIOR YEAR HS (2018 GRAD):

* 1st team Iowa all state OLB Class 2A
* 1st team Iowa all state RB Class 2A
* Led the state of Iowa, regardless of class during the regular season in tackles for loss.
* Was 4th in the state, regardless of class during regular season for total sacks.
* Led the state, regardless of class in fumble recoveries for touchdowns.
* Was 6th in the state, regardless of class in the regular season for Rushing TD’s.
* Was 2nd in state, class 2A in rushing TD’s.

His crazy gift of speed is undeniable after watching these matches. He CAN FREAKING DO THIS! I am crazy about the Chiefs just like he is and I would NEVER advocate for them to waste their time with anything... I am dead serious, I think he can do it AND perform well when he gets there. He’s risen to every big stage he’s ever been on. At least give him a look... he wouldn’t ever work out for any team other than the Chiefs, he loves them too much. It’s either Chiefs or MMA for him after HS, and he will own those guys too. THIS WHITE GUY CAN FLY!

For those of you who follow my brother Brennan, thought I’d leave an update...

Brennan, after reading some of the insight from CP’ers in this thread, bulked up a bit and bumped up a weight to 174.... How did the weight change treat him? WELL... He finished his season Saturday night. He finished the year with a record of 18-0, 9 pins, 5 MD’s and 4 decisions and won his 2nd straight NAIA Championship.

I was waiting for you to you to post this. I was following his matches while I was at The Big XII tournament this weekend. Congrats on a great season

Awesome.
