Virginia Tech Hokies wrestlers Aaron Seidel and Collin Gaj joined the show after standout performances at the 2026 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. The true freshmen talked about their matches in Cleveland, with Seidel earning 3rd place and Gaj taking 5th, their decision to choose Virginia Tech over other programs, the physical and mental challenges of college wrestling, and their desire to build a lasting legacy with Virginia Tech Wrestling.
“Wow, what an impressive performance by Aaron Seidel and Collin Gaj at the NCAA Championships! Taking 3rd and 5th as true freshmen is no small feat—clearly, Virginia Tech made the right choice recruiting them. The mental and physical grind of college wrestling must be insane, but these two seem built for it. I love how they’re already talking about legacy; it shows they’re in it for more than just personal glory. Also, shoutout to the host for covering such a wide range of guests over the years—that’s dedication! Curious though: what’s the one piece of advice they’d give to high school wrestlers dreaming of competing at this level?”
