Real Woods enters the National Tournament as the #3 seed at 141 in his senior year.
Woods is 18-3 on the season with one pin, five tech falls, and one major decision.
The Big Ten definitely has the best to offer for the entire country at 141 with the top three seeds of Jesse Mendez (Ohio State) – #1, Beau Bartlett (Penn State) – #2 and Woods – #3.
Folks, I honestly couldn’t have asked for this weight to be seeded out any more better for Real Woods.
I would say the odds are pretty even for the top three at 141 to win it all.
Woods has so many weapons to score with. I just want to see him cut loose and get after it by letting his skills take over.
Even if Woods does not get the first period takedown to see him dictate the pace and keep the pressure on Bartlett and Mendez until he eventually does score.
A very realistic path is set and there for the taking for Real Woods to become the 2024 141 lbs. NCAA National Champion.
