Great news for the program. Some of you guys who are really into wrestling jumped on this right away, as soon as he entered the portal. Good call!

We jumped on this a year or so ago and it finally happened :Laughing

Forgive me if this has been discussed already but can he take an ORS this year since he locked up spot for Puerto Rico if he really wanted to?

We have a National Champion I believe for 2021 - Welcome back home to Jersey SeaBass!!

iirc there was a Rivera wrestling and playing football at Jackson back in the 70s

Here's a NY Times story on the Jackson Riveras from that era

Sebastian's father is Steve Rivera I believe and he runs Elite Wrestling Club in Jackson and Toms-River: https://elitewrestlingnj.com/coaches/

Have to give Flo some credit here. In the Rivera transfer article, they said they are analyzing whether this was the highest number of "O"s ever included in a Goodale "Boom!" tweet.
