Any ideas what weight he's wrestling at? I believe 285 is heavyweight, so it has a much larger range. I'd think for a LB prospect, he wouldn't be anywhere near that #

jordan's weight
Whiting, who started wrestling five years ago at 134 pounds and now competes at 225 pounds
per a post up the page. Im guessing the 285 is a typo .

285 is the maximum weight limit. Jordan is probably wrestling a lot of guys 50 pounds heavier than him. As another example, I believe that Goebbel has been wrestling at 275 as a heavyweight in his state. |

Right - in KY 285 is the max on openweight or heavyweight. If Jordan is at 225, than he is wrestling kids 50 lbs heavier, and winning. Pretty amazing really.

Jordan wrestling against guys that much bigger than him should help him in keeping offensive linemen off of him and really teach him leverage. It's very impressive that he is so successful going against guys so much heavier.

That is nuts he is wresting that much higher... think he would cut 5 lbs and wrestle in the 215 range. A tremendous feat for him to be as damn good as he is in that weight class.
For people who have never wrestled, wresting anyone a weight class or two ahead of you is murder... what he is doing is just amazing.

Don't know if you guys noticed, but Whiting lost by default, which means he had to forfeit the match due to injury. Hope its not too severe...
