Inside Virginia Tech Wrestling

On Episode 14 of Inside Virginia Tech Wrestling, Jason Bryant catches up with head coach coach Kevin Dresser to talk about the postseason team awards and upcoming competition.

Before getting into the team awards discussion, we still keep talking about the whole eating of turkeys after Jeremy Johnson's interview on last episode. Coach Dresser offers some encouraging rationale behind why the big bird is consumed.

Coach Dresser will also talk about the freestyle and Greco-Roman competition coming up with the U.S. Open and the University Nationals.

Coach Dresser also discusses his upcoming induction into the Roanoke Valley Wrestling Hall of Fame.

On Episode 13 of Inside Virginia Tech Wrestling, Jason Bryant catches up with volunteer assistant coach Jeremy Johnson.

An Ohio native and two-time All-American at Ohio University under coach Joel Greenlee, Johnson came to Blacksburg after finishing his student teaching in December. He was instrumental in helping Ty Walz earn All-American honors at heavyweight.

Johnson talks about what life has been like in Blacksburg, how much fun it's been and what his future will hold in coaching, teaching or wherever it leads.

The wrestling season has come to a close and on Episode 12 of Inside Virginia Tech Wrestling, host Jason Bryant and head wrestling coach Kevin Dresser break down the individual performances at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in St. Louis and look forward to the future.

Coach Dresser also has a clinic and a fundraiser for Hokie Wrestling in Virginia Beach this weekend as the NHSCA National Championships take place at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, just blocks from the oceanfront.

I'd like to include a personal note to all the fans of Virginia Tech wrestling who listen to this show regularly -- THANK YOU. As coach Dresser explains at the end of Episode 12, Virginia Tech was one of the first programs to jump on board with the Mat Talk Podcast Network. The relationship goes back to when he was coaching at Grundy and I was a high school student at Poquoson. Coach Dresser took a leap of faith on this project and I feel it's been a success. Virginia Tech has become the model program for which shows on the Mat Talk Podcast Network are to follow. An engaged fanbase, I ask to simply leave a review on iTunes or on Stitcher for how much you liked the show. I appreciate all the feedback Hokie Nation has provided this year and we will continue on in the off-season with athlete interviews, we'll talk to alumni and keep you engaged throughout the offseason!.

The home slate is finished for the Virginia Tech Hokie wrestling team and on Episode 10 of Inside Virginia Tech Wrestling, coach Kevin Dresser recaps the finale and looks towards the last two duals of the season.

Virginia Tech will head to Chapel Hill on Friday, February 20 to take on North Carolina before heading up to Long Island to take on the host Pride of Hofstra University on February 22 at noon.

After those duals, the ninth-ranked Hokies will hang around snow-covered Blacksburg to prepare for the ACC Championships, which take place on March 8 at Pittsburgh.

Coach Dresser talks about sending off the seniors and the opportunity to wrestle three duals at the Moss Arts Center. He also gives Hokie Nation an update on the status of Austin Gabel at 184 pounds.

We'll also poke some fun at Coach Dresser's age ... he placed fourth at the NCAA Division I Championships 30 years ago.
