Zahid Valencia (Photo/John Sachs, Tech-Fall.com)"I'm going to be redshirt my first year, and so is my brother," Zahid Valencia told Takedown Wrestling. "It won't be until two years before we'll be winning NCAA championships."
Zahid won a UWW Junior National freestyle title at 84 kilos this past weekend in Las Vegas, beating Ohio State signee Myles Martin 7-0 in the championship match.
Anthony placed third at the U.S. Open on the senior level at 74 kilos. In his third-place match he won by 10-0 technical fall over University World champion Tyler Caldwell.
Said Zahid of his brother Anthony: "He made that big jump and he wrestled really well. He came a little short of what he wanted, but still really impressive."
Arizona State's 2015 recruiting's class includes five InterMat top 100 recruits. In addition to the Valencia brothers, the other top 100 recruits are Lance Benick (Totino-Grace, Minn.), Josh Shields (Franklin Regional, Pa.) and Josh Maruca (Franklin Regional, Pa.).
