GentleBeard 145 Report post Posted December 21, 2017 I feel like Seth Slayton is a lot older than a freshman. Hard to believe. He’s put in a lot of work. There are some hammers on that list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ukpridewrestler11 276 Report post Posted December 21, 2017 Seth has transformed his body the last two years and improved tremendously. He was one match away from placing at 152 at state last year as an 8th grader. Albeit he had a heck of a draw. Caldwell has some young hammers coming up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
