Matt Parker is the quintessential defensive wrestler. If you watched video of Matt and Scottie side by side, it'd be tough to guess who was who, they wrestled so similarly, imo. Their HS records are almost identical as well. At states, Scott went 4,3,2 and Matt went 5,2,3. Both had over 140 wins in HS.
But when Scott went to Lehigh, his improvement was dramatic. He was a 2x AA and ready to do it again when he had a career-ending injury. One would hope that given the other similarities, Matt would again follow in his brother's footsteps. In which case, PSU scored a real coup and will have some points coming out of 125 at nationals. Hey, a guy can dream.
