CHROMEBIRD Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Who are the oldest wresters in recent memory to AA? I figure someone here must know this. I'll be rooting for Micky "Old Man Strength" Phillippi to get past R12 at Nationals and AA this year. He was born in April 1997 and will be a few weeks short of his 26th birthday. Not that it's a given, but I would like to see it happen. Has there been anyone older on the podium? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingcement Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Brock Hardy did a mission for several years and is only a sophomore I belive so he may be another candidate in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHROMEBIRD Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 I forgot about the mission kids. Off the top of my head, Matt Brown might have been up there too when he AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scourge165 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 How old is Nelson Brands? I watched an interview from him and it was back from Jan '21 and I thought they said he was 22. He's got 2 years left. He's gonna be another older Hawkeye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only did he step away from college to serve in the military for 6 years, he came back and wrestled Hodge, scored on him, and avoided getting pinned!

Idaho Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Charlie Jones - In the Air Force for 6 years.... went to Purdue and won the NCAA title at 167 in 1992 I believe.

I initially read this as his son was at Purdue at the same time (I read it as 'that year' versus 'this year') and started laughing like a maniac and getting really confused.

Problem is...he's also older for the draft, but a 5th round pick maybe? Blew up this year at Purdue. Wasted as Iowa. I'd like to see him in Green and Gold next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lu_alum Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Not the oldest ever, but Ben Kjar is a relatively recent AA who was long in the tooth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNRodent Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) Matt Lamb, Michigan State HWT was mid to late 20's but I think blood round was his best finish. He made a comeback on the SR GR circuit at age 42. Matt Brown, PSU was around 25, I think. One season He wrestled like 4 different weights, 165-197 or something like that.

nhs67 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Tanner Hall is going to return next season after his mission, while Schultzy does an Oly-shirt. If he pulls an AA in it would likely count as the oldest ever at 46 years young. 1 "I know actually nothing.

Brown had as tough a time cracking the PSU lineup as he did winning a title! I remember he was a '65 pounder...maybe it was '74, but he went up and beat a pretty good '97 pounder from Michigan. He also had a pretty competitive wrestle off with Ruth I believe. Pretty damn good career though. 2, 5, 1 in 3 years. That was when there were like 5 or 6 just physical, tough '74 pounders in the B1G who didn't exactly light up the scoreboards, but they beat the hell outta you and were tough to score on. Storley, maybe the best Wrestler in SD HS history. Kokesh, Evans, Howe...probably forgetting a couple guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
