Minnesota recruit Landon Robideau (photo courtesy of Tony Rotundo; WrestlersAreWarriors.com)Last night, the #9 overall sophomore in the nation, Landon Robideau (St. Michael Albertville, MN), made his collegiate commitment via social media. Robideau announced that he will stay in-state and compete for Brandon Eggum's Minnesota Golden Gophers.
Robideau is currently ranked 10th at 132 lbs in MatScouts pre-Super 32 Rankings. He is expected to compete at that weight in Greensboro and is number eight in the preseeds.
Robideau is a two-time Fargo 16U freestyle national runner-up (2021 and 2022) and was third at UWW Cadet freestyle last spring.
Last year, as a freshman, Robideau won his first Minnesota state title. Minnesota allows middle schoolers to compete at the state tournament, so Robideau was a finalist as both a seventh and eighth grader.
There's plenty of time between now and when Robideau is expected to set foot on Minnesota's campus; however, as of now, he appears to be in the 141/149 lb range for the Gophers. Based on their current roster construction, that should be a solid fit, but plenty can change between now and then.
Robideau is the first wrestler from the Class of 2024 or 2025 to commit to Minnesota.
