Adam Alirez Year Quotations

He's a very quite, hard worker. Coming into this year from last year, I see 10 times the wrestler. This year he won't be denied. He's just awesome. He is only a sophomore, too. Next year, people better watch out in that heavy weight division.

He's a bust your butt kind of wrestler. He works hard in practice. He's had a rough time this year with injuries, but even so he's there every single day, icing, conditioning, jump roping -- whatever he had to do. He's an awesome kid to have in that room. I'm excited that he's only a sophomore.

We've been working so hard because we know it's his last year and the road he's going to through, there's a couple of guys, and we've been trying to watch some tape work on things and he came through. He wrestled his butt off.
