Would you believe this is a high schooler?? 🤯 Be honest ‼️ Coby Merrill cobymerrill is the #2 high schooler in the country at 285. He is also #8 pound-for-pound amongst ALL HS wrestlers 🤯 The #1 Californian prospect in the Class of 2026 is committed to Iowa State 🔥 He just won the Grand View Open, with two pins, two techs, & a major in the finals over USA’s U23 rep. I’d say he is pretty legit 🤷‍♂️ #hammer #merrill #wrestling #DCtrained
