Rutgers Wrestling held their annual media day last week at the APC in Piscataway and I broke down Coach Goodale’s press conference at that time. The media on hand was also able to interview select wrestlers which was a great chance to get individual perspectives on the upcoming season, the shortened and Covid impacted past two seasons, and their expectations heading forward.
I was able to briefly talk with Rob Kanniard, Sebastian Rivera, Mike VanBrill, and John Poznanski, all of whom were incredibly forthcoming and answered my (sometimes confusing) questions fully and honestly.
I first sat down with redshirt freshman Rob Kanniard, the anticipated 157lbs starter whose season was cut short last year after he couldn’t compete at the Big Ten Tournament.
