He seems like the next guy who is going to be looked at as the guy who could do it, but we've thought the same thing about lots of guys with just as good of a resume. Spencer Lee is the latest.

That was Kyven Gadsen. Snyder has gone 2-1-1. McIntosh beat Cox in the consi semis.
Correct, but McIntosh beat Snyder as well, just not at NCAAs
One big difference is their respective weight classes. 125 is a meat grinder this year, and will be for as long as Fix and Cruiseliner Nick stay there.
HWT next year, without Snyder and Coon and Kasper and a few others ... still decent but not the same.
And if Steveson shirts, then subtract Nevills and Stoll and Sasquatch, etc. The highest ranked FR/SO is Wood, whom he has demolished. Singletary might be his biggest current underclassman obstacle.
so as far as the board historians know 3 undefeated champs on one team in one season is the "record". Man I forgot quickly about 2012 kind of crazy ....Having more than 3 undefeated wrestlers in one season may be a record never broken ........unless it happens this year.... no pressure guys...
He needs to worry......PSU has a freshman wrestling this year.
Well, yes, but not compared to decades earlier, which is really what my point was.
3 in one year by 1 school does appear to be the record. Oklahoma (1969) and Oklahoma State (a few times) have also done it, though the records get fuzzier as you go back.
This discussion is exactly why I have to laugh ever time somebody starts questioning the abilities of one of our Champs when they have a close match. I don't think people realize how difficult it is to go undefeated in this sport regardless of how good you are. On top of that, going undefeated and winning virtually ever match by bonus points is almost super human and shouldn't be taken for granted like some on here do.
For some reason I thought he dropped one match his first three years. Still, even as unbeatable as Dake seemed to be, it happened.

Mitchell Port has to be one of the better wrestlers to never win a title
Yes, but one of many. Bryan Snyder is always first in my mind when I think of that category.
Bryan is a great human being too! Havent talked to him in many years but when I did he came off as a super guy, with his mind and heart in the right places.
And, he's a smart man: fellow sociologist, except that he has a PhD, which is even all the more impressive.
Yes, you can go over to HR and read today where at least one of the guys over there had Lee going undefeated for his entire career after his FIRST MATCH as a collegian, at the UNI Open!
That turned out well (yes, I understand the redshirt thing, just like Sanderson/Jenn).
Snyder beat one of my best friends in the Semi's at Hershey our sr year. They were 1-2 in the rankings. My buddy was up by 1 with 5 seconds to go and they had a restart on neutral and snyder took him down as time expired. I couldn't believe it. Snyder obviously went on to Nebraska my buddy wrestled at American.
Others i think of are usually guys who i watched in hs who never won a title. Jon Trenge and Vertus Jones immediately come to mind, and i thought both were better than Bryan but Byran is a good call as well.
